not really... all he needs to do is advertise locally. Assuming we could take like 5 or so from Omaha, and if Uli and them all go thats probably about 10 from Omaha... he just needs to bring in a Local seen. Its all about advertising, you tell your friends and they tell theirs, and put up some flyers, promise them a fun time.
really what you should do is ask around before you decide to host it. If your friends sound interested and say they'd come, thats good... and then ask some people or have them ask some others, if you can go ask 15-20 people and they all say they'll come, then go for it. remember even just puttin up little flyers, or a thread on the internet, can always attract some extra people that you never even knew.
The only problem I would see is with Prizes. Most tournaments would run 10$ for singles, and then either 5$ or 10$ a person for doubles. However some places like to exchange that for their own prizes, like free stuff or whatever it may be... but most people would just prefer cash lol...
