Kent Pes5 Tournament Tips and hints please?

[matthewfever]

Can anyone give me some advice on running my tournament. Im thinking..... hire a hall £60 for 5 hours with alcoholic bar with snacks, two bouncers £15 an hour (just incase anyone gets a bit pissed off that they lose) Would be like 32 players max, would play first round on 5 mins, would use 2 ps2's and 2 PC's with superpatch, obviously the latter rounds would be PC only, with PS2 adapters and ps2 controls. Would charge £5 entry, £200 prize money, under 16's £3, £130 prize money.

anyway thats what ive thought of so far, does anyone with any experience of running a tournament have any tips for me, as i want it to run as smoothly as possible, and dont wanna waste my money if theres gonna be unforseen problems that i havent contemplated. input would be much appreciated. thanks

Firstly I wouldn't recommend 5 minute matches as they do not involve much skill (be first to score and then hang on to the lead) as it may upset some people. I doubt you'll need bouncers but I don't know your area so

You should get in touch with calculus who organises the London PESTAL tournaments.

Calculus.

He's a friend of mine and I'm sure you can get some good info from him. Good luck with your tournament. If you advertise it over here there'll be quite a lot of interest.
