Creating a Tournament

Tuesday, February 24, 2009 - Miss C

Hey Everyone,

So, who likes to play tournament? On a personal level I am a tournament player, not a live game player. I am one of the lucky ones who have been involved in from the very concept to a super successful tournament nearly a decade on.

The planning leading up to these events would blow your mind, we are talking from branding placements to the logo on the felts. Then heaven for bid you are adding additional tables into an established casino…to gain more poker tables we had to lose other gaming tables. In a casino there are so many departments that need to be involved and in the end everyone has to be on the same page.

The property I was involved with had hotels, food and beverage, equipment, entertainment, PR, VIP service, gaming and marketing. Our weekly meetings kept us all on the same page and being the ring leader was an experience.  Every year the importance and growth of the tournament made up start our preparations earlier and earlier.  All this did was increase the momentum and your year would fly by faster than normal.

Then the day would arrive and the players would start wondering in. The familiar faces you come by, just at tournament times and the Pros who exude their presence and the new kids on the block standing in awe contimplating asking for an autograph. The room would be in a state of excitement and edginess. The big games start appearing on the interest lists and the railbirds curse the fact we put the big games at the back of the room with no rail in sight.

It ends up being an amazing fortnight and it goes by in a blink. It is such an amazing feeling when your body kicks into automatic pilot and you run on pure adrenaline.  There are parties, amazing final tables, bad beats galore, lots of dinners and drinks, but everyone is having a ball. Having an event that brings people from all over the world…old friends, new friends all here for the same thing.

Tournaments are the best time of the year for me when it all comes to an end…I curl up in a ball and sleep for 2 weeks and try to drink coffee again without getting heart palpitations. I say, “Bring on the next 1″ I love it.

Cheers,

Miss c
