then contact us at info@coloradocutthroat.com
and we can help get that tournmaent off the ground as a tournament
director.
How
do become a tournament director and what do I get out of it?
Being a tournament director allows you to both get a chance to
establish a game of your choice as a main game attraction, help
develop the gaming community around you, but also allow you to
get some money out of it as well. For any tournament that a tournament
director runs they will be allotted 10% of the entry fee for that
particular tournament.
So for example, say you have a tournament that has 2
games featured in it and your are running both tournaments. Both
tournaments will require $5 each to the venue. So with 20 seperate
people entered in each tournament (40 people total) there will
be $100 gained for the venue and $100 in the tournament pot for
each game thus $200 dollars goes to the venue and there is $00
in the pot for each game. In this situation if the tournament
director is just directing the tournament AND NOT PLAYING they
will get 10% of the venue money based off how many people enter
the tournament that they are directing. This 10% comes from the
VENUE MONEY NOT THE POT MONEY so the pot money is NOT affected.
So in this situation the tournament director would get $10 for
each tournament. So at the end of the day the
venue would take home $180.
This gives tournament directors some reinbursement for the time
that they are putting into provide a tournament to the community
plus it motivates tournament directors to work there hardest to
get as many people there as possible. This way the more
people you get the more money you make. Price
breakdown is subject to change
Responsibilities for a tournament director:
Responsibilities of Venue and
C3:
Not ahearing to these responsibilites only
hurts you as a director and the group that you support so again
this is a way to make a name for yourself so if you help yourself
we will help you!!!
How
does the Ranking System work!
When you participate in tournaments you
get points for joining the tournament. These points determine
you player rank in Colorado and all over the nation. Currently
we are revamping our ranking system. Expect some updates soon!!
One of things that we trying to do is make this chapter the most
competitive out of all the chapters in
NVGA. With that in mind, we sponsor players to go in state and
out of state to represent the chapter, but there are stipulations
and benefits to being sponsored:
T1: *Pay for entry free to tournaments
T2: **Pay for entry fee and food
T3: ***Pay for entry fee and food/travel (FULL Sponsorship)
