Charity tournament talk.

Tournament

So im working on a charity tournament. I wanna boast it in between store Champs season and regional season. Right now I'm working on ideas all I have so far is a 5 dollar buy in at the base. And I was thinking to help raise money for the charity I was thinking to do it by how your deck was built. Example each data pack would be an extra dollar to your buy in and each big box will be 2 dollars towards your buy in. What do you guys think and do you have any other ideas?

Something that works REALLY well for me for a Blood Bowl Tournament I organise is "challenges" for the first round.

I open it up an hour before hand after all people are registered. Get a screen going with updates. Players can challenge anyone for the first round for any amount (50c, $1..whatever). If the person does not want to accept the challenge..they must meet the amount. You cannot post a challenge while being challenged etc.

Using that, and any profit I made in organising the 2 day tournament, we raised $440 for a charity down here....and the bidding was a BLAST...one guy was targeted big time due to the team he bought, he put up around $10 to avoid the challenges until someone stepped up and went...$20 to play him....he gave up, had to take the challenge. Was good laughs and that one game raised close to $50 :)

Perhaps you could do a draft. Talk to your flgs. If they're anything like the one I work at they have plenty of draft packs they want to get rid of. Might donate them for a good cause.

You could have an auction for the IDs. That way people will either go cheap and build some jank, or be willing to shell out a bunch of cash to get something strong.

The only thing with that is I'm have to do it before hand.
