Hello! I'd like to host a charity tournament benefiting Alzheimer's research. I have no clue where to start. Looking for any tips you may have.
Here's a list of some facts/ideas about the tourney in no particular order:
- Fairly small, 2 tables with 10 players each? Maybe 3x8 if we can swing it, but it's a stretch.
- Some percentage of all buyins go to charity. Maybe half? Then the other half is a payout structure.
- Donation made in the name of the winner? Seems like a cool prize.
- Maybe players can opt to pay an extra $20 at buy-in? This gives them 1.5x starting stack and the extra money goes 100% to the donation?
- Food/drink provided or catered. This is supposed to be charitable, but it should also be fun.
- Cash game after the tourney is over.
- Would happen in the Fall, around my birthday (end of Nov). Hopefully would happen annually after that. Maybe after a few years we could grow it pretty big?
- Not sure if my crew would go for a $100 buy in. That'd be cool, though. Maybe.
And some questions:
- How tf do you run a big tournament?
- Would CPC make a small set of chips to be handed out as thank-yous? Maybe the trophy itself is a unique chip?
- Should I hire dealers? How much would that cost? Any expenses just mean we have less to donate.
I'm sure there's more. Thanks in advance!
