Helping out a very small chess club called the Jackson Chess Club in Jackson Michigan. In the past year have gotten the membership to be more active, with the youth and also the adult players with the quick events at the club and the Jackson Action tournaments. WOuld say that 80% of the membership of the Jackson Chess Club are current members of the USCF.
Double Round Robin Event
Time control: G/10 no time delay
First round at 7.30 pm untill finnished
Register 6.30 till 7.20 pm no late registering after the first round
Entry fee $5 no prize fund all profits go to the club fund
Double Round Robin event with a section of 6 to 10 people.
Even if it was sent in on paper at 40 cents per game must take into the fact you have two people that pay for the game making the cost for one person down to 20 cents per game. 20 X 25 = 500 or $5. As you have 24 games to break even and 25 is a odd number for a double round robin drop it down to 24 games. As it is a double round robin cut 24 in half to get 12 people for one person to play, then you do not play yourself you can have 13 people in a section to break even if you do not have a prize fund.
If you have more then 13 people in a section, then you will start to lose money for this event. As 13 people in a section would need to play 24 games, most people would start to hate to play that many games. If you break the section into 6 to 10 players in a section, even if you have 10 people in a section that would still be only 18 games.
