Help Or Advice With Hosting A Local Tournament

[o0silentshadow0o]

Hello , a while back I hosted a 50 person tournament. But now I want to do another one. So I got a venue, a pretty standard one, it's a nice looking place where I live, in the main down town area. It can comfortably hold 100 people, and that's what I am trying to go for. Going from 50 to 100 is a big change, so I have some questions to those with experience and are nice enough to answer.

1.) How long would a 100 person tournament take with Melee Singles, Doubles, and if ideal Project M singles with 15 set ups?

2.) Is 15 setups enough, or should I get more?

3.) What should be the prize pool for an 100 person tournament?

4.) Does a $10 Venue fee, and $10 entry sound fair, with Melee singles 1st place earning $500, 2nd $200 3rd $50?

5.) I am trying to make the tournament under 9 hours, is that realistic?

6.) How can I promote well to get 100 people? Because getting 50 was easy, but 100 seems hard.

7.) Is there any advice I should be aware of?

Well those are my questions for now, if there is anything else you want to let me know please do.

1) idk
2) the more the better
3) factor in venue fees and determine how you wan to split it(how far in placements are u willing to payout
4) depends on how many people go and all kinds of extra costs to factor
5) with that many people, no
6)go to other locals and tell people, find a facebook group or make one for your smash scene
7) try to get a couple of other people to help t.o, trying to handle all that by yourself may end up collapsing on you
