This question pertains to a person who runs an 8 ball tournament in a tavern and charges $1.00 per person. The tavern matches the total buy ins ($5.00 each). This person also plays in these tournaments and to me it seems to be a problem. He can win money without it costing him anything out of his pocket. He could show up totally broke and enter the tourny with money from his fees. Seems a bit fishy to me. Am I just being a nit? lol

Runs the tournament, has to win, still can't afford to get a beer.
Tough action.

I used to run a poker game in my basement, provided snacks and sodas. I removed $1 out of each ante. I also played in the game.
On the one hand, I'm lessening the total amount of money that is being gambled collectively, especially if the game lasts all night, but on the other hand, I definitely was winner each and every time at the end.
I understand the dilemma from both sides.
