Episode 128: So You Want to Run a Tournament

episode-128-banner

If you’ve got a group of players and want to figure out who’s the best player, a tournament is one of the best ways to get the answer – but what if you’ve never run a tournament before? How do you even go about doing that? In this episode, the Preferred Enemies crew tries to help by sharing their experiences on running tournaments, both big and small. From tables and terrain to rankings and rulings, we discuss how we’ve been running our local and regional events and what we’ve learned along the way. Also, we answer a large chunk of listener questions, including several that are tournament-related. It’s a one-stop shop for tournament advice! All this, news, reviews, and hobby progress, too!
