When deciding to stage a tournament at your room or bar it is essential to add enough purse money so as to attract enough players to offset the cost of the tournament.How ? you may ask. Simple.Hard work. Look for local business owners who like pool. Ask them if they would like to be a sponsor for the tournament. For a fee of 50 or 100 dollars they would be intitled to have a sign promoting their business or company displayed in your room for a specific period of time.Recruit 20 businesses and you have enough for 1500-2000 added event. YOU can recruit any business or company as long as you deliver on your proposal.I don't think 50 or 100 is too much to ask if they have their sign up in your room for 6 -12 months.With a reasonable entry fee and green fees the outcome will be a successful event. The more tournaments the better it is for everybody.STAGE a good tourney and the players will come!!!
