I am thinking of hosting a fisher random tournament please post if you would come and what time controls, entry fee, prize structure, etc you would like to see I would pay out 100 percent I was thinking sometime in February

It would sound like a fun tournament that you would likely have to be open to the public since it is not rated (as I know of) by USCF.  Also having a set layout for each round is going to be needed so every game can be recorded as a certain set up each game, not all of them have to be the same, but every board starting identical should be nessiary; have them all planned out before the tournament begins, granted you use the 6 sided die method or using position a website creates. (Keep them quiet so there is no guarentee that anyone may try to look at the positions before the tournament starts)

 I would say g/30 with it not available to be rated and will make players figure out the opening in a quick way.

Since this would be a new tournament, and has nothing to do for qualifiying with any high level tournament it could be a 5-10 dollar tournament with payout being equal to what ever was put in, granted you don't have to put money in other places (building).  Blitz/True ratings should be taken into consideration when giving prizes out since the skill levels are still in the equation.

Thank you for your feedback jaleb it would definitely not be rated and I like the game 30 idea although I would have an inrement I was thinking 5 to ten dollars too I have a 960 generating clock so I would use that right before the round

I can't make it on the 12th, but I'd play (weather permitting) if the entry fee was not more than $10.

Cool I will definitely not have an entry fee over 10 dollars what do you think of having a series and the top overall scorers would win a trophy?

I'm not a big fan of the whole series thing, but Jim's Prairie series does manage to keep the same people showing up, so there is some merit to it. I like 1 day tournaments with a reasonable entry fee, but I'm in the minority on that.

I won't announce a series before I see how well the first one goes
