Which download isn't working for you? They all seem to be working at the moment. The audio didn't seem to want to download until the whole audio track had loaded, but once that happened it seemed to work okay.... If it still doesn't work for you email me (jseamon at gmail dot com) and I'll send over another download link.

About Me

This presentation
Key elements General hints Specific hints My opinion Why this topic NOT a complete guide
Slide 3: It’s never too early… …. to start planning.
Slide 4: Reasons to run a tournament
Brings lots of teams to you Showcase Ultimate in your community Level teams, even games There’s a hole in your region’s schedule You’re fed up with how other tournaments are run
Slide 5: What you need to know right now
Fields
Dream about them, get maps, use wisely
Insurance
School, sanctioning, or?
A weekend that works & a backup
KNOW your region, KNOW your teams
Budget
Entirely self supported? Or?
Slide 6: What you need to prep well in advance
Housing Depends on tourney, parents! Food Cold and abundant Vendors Minimal gear goes a LONG way Programs Overly informative, well thought out Volunteers Recruit early, recruit often, recruit Media Press release, non-sports sections, photographer Trainer This should be an absolute Timeline
Slide 7: Promo, Presence, and Communication
Clean and simple Constantly updated website UPA, RSD Mailing lists Buy a domain Buy a host and use a CMS? Kidnap a tech PROOF your product, include pictures, and use an HTML editor
Slide 8: Scheduling
Standard tournament formats
Convenient, 4/8/16
Nonstandard formats
Ensure even play, connect the dots
Appropriate amount of teams and games
Don’t over book, don’t cram
Don’t be afraid to improvise
Slide 9: Captain’s Meeting
Practice! This is your time to SHINE Well organized and overly informative Teams will always want more info Goal: NO paperwork Online rostering, early deadlines Stay ON time, NOT Ultimate time Set clear expectations, keep moving Use this time to CYA There is always ONE issue SPELL OUT the rules
Slide 10: Team Boxes
Food Water Programs Game Discs Laminated Schedule
Slide 11: During the tournament
Find a body double You CANNOT do everything Have a contingency plan for everything Actually do dry runs, plan for the worst ‘Watchers’ on each field Scorekeepers and timers Stay ON time, NOT Ultimate time Set clear and concise cap rules, space out rounds Play the tournament out beforehand Seriously
Slide 12: The Awards Ceremony
Make it big
Giving praise is rewarding
Thoughtful awards go a long way
Trophies legitimize
ALWAYS have a spirit award
The largest trophy?
Free schwag = people love you
T-shirts, Discs, etc.
Slide 13: After the tournament
Cleanup Crews One for setup too, don’t count on people ‘being there’ Tournament recap People LOVE pictures and writeups Thank you letters! These are an ABSOLUTE must, write them by hand, sign them, include attending teams Meeting to debrief and brainstorm SOON after the tournament
Slide 14: Dealing with the unexpected
A team drops at the last minute Minor injury Serious injury Terrible weather Annoying admins, parents, spectators Inappropriate conduct by teams
Slide 15: What it comes down to
It’s never too early to start planning. You’re never done planning.
