- Previous event organizing experience: I am the head Tournament Organizer (T.O.) for the majority of regionals at Bar Lucci in Northeast Ohio. I recently ran the "Speakeasy" Riptide prelocal, and my biggest event organized was Crowd Control x Bar Lucci Tournament v2 (CC x BLT v2) with about 110 entrants.

Attendance & Broadcasting
- Expected attendance per event: With correct promotion and based on shoutouts from previous events, we can easily reach 100 entrants per tournament
- Broadcasting setup: We have a dedicated Bar Lucci streaming desktop that was crowdfunded by the community. We use OBS with cameras and microphones for commentators, with Weiss Climbers handling production.
Prize Structure
- Monthly prize pool allocation: 50% of the monthly budget will go directly to prizes
- Prize distribution format: Top 8 payout structure with a 50/20/13/7/3/3/2/2 percentage split
Event Schedule
I am planning to run four major events per year at Bar Lucci, with the next event scheduled for late June or early July 2024.
