Thanks for the props srkegler. Let me know how I can help out! I think you have the right ideas, try to work now toward getting some summer events going. It will take a lot of time to spread the word, so starting now should be plenty of time to get the word out.
My first year, I charged $50/person, and I think we did $10 pots. I found out later that most people wanted $15-$20 pots. First year, maybe $50-$60 entry with $15-$20 pots. It's just best to ask around for opinions on that stuff.
Remember that first summer that I ran mine, I only had 20 at my first event, then we had the one in Detroit area and had 48, then you came up to the one up north and we had 39, then off to Lansing where we had 48 again. The momentum hasn't stopped since!!!
Best of luck with your tournaments, and feel free to email me anytime if you would like any suggestions, for what they are worth!
