Trying to establish weeklies in Fredeicksburg, VA

[doublec72]

In my area we have monthly tourneys at a place called Sage Mantis Game Haven. They are on the last Sunday of the month and $20 covers venue and entry, which quite frankly, is a lot compared to other places. A few weeks ago, our old TO left to establish a new venue. This past Sunday was the first tourneys since the original TO left, and the turnout was pitiful, with only seven people showing up. I've been talking to the venue owner, and he's willing to lower prices to $5 venue $5 entry if I can generate enough interest from players. So the question is, is anybody interested? The address of the venue is 2025 Plank Rd Fredericksburg VA, 22401. There is potential for streaming as well.


Please reply if you would attend!

Great! The first weekly will be held this Friday.

Questions though, do you have any ideas for other ways to get word out? and should i put up a listing on this site? and if so how would i do that

For publicity, all I can think of is sharing on Facebook, possibly making a FB page for people in the Fredericksburg (and other areas near Game Haven) could help build the community. I'm honestly not sure about the listing though, I'm new to this site, my main reason for signing up was to reply to this post haha

Hey, I told my friend and two cousins. My friend said he's gonna tell his friends about it, so hopefully that'll bring more of a crowd. I'm going to find ways to promote the event in creative ways so it catches people's attention!
Also would you happen to know the time it starts?

 

[ohlookitssergio]

I made this to help promote the tournament on social networks like Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, etc.
I'd be more than happy to make more promo photos for future events!
