Key takeaways
  • Too many rounds for the hours
  • No published round length
  • Improvising a ruling policy
  • Top-heavy prizes at a tiny event

Too many rounds for the hours

Events that overrun lose the venue and the players. Size rounds to the booking.

No published round length

Without a clock, rounds drift and the final round starts too late to finish.

Improvising a ruling policy

Deciding process mid-dispute makes any outcome feel arbitrary. Announce it up front.

Top-heavy prizes at a tiny event

New players stop entering when only the top table is rewarded.
