Downtown Duel: Saturday Updated Live, All Day Long

Here we are live from the registration desk of the Downtown Duel being held at the Holiday Inn Airport, on Burnt Poplar Road in Greensboro. Foil is off and running! The fact that I am free to blog means that perhaps things could be going better. Well, that's not true. The event is running like clockwork and the foilest are all very happy...all five of them.
Lessons learned:

  • Make the age groups combined up until we get enough of a repeat following that we can split it up.

  • Don't schedule the event, the same weekend as another veteran event. Even if that tournament is in Florida.

  • Don't schedule the event two weeks from a high level veteran's event. Even if that event is in Reno Nevada.

    • We are definately not going to break even this year, but like everyone keeps reminding me, a good small event this year equals a better larger event next year. Its all about reputation. If your tournament runs well, you will have a bigger turnout for your other tournaments. One thing we pride ourselves on is running good events. Wether anyone comes or not. :)
