    Looking to run a darts Tournament in Clonmel Co Tipp next Month,

    Clonmel is with in one hour of Cork, Waterford, Limerick, Kilkenny, Portlaoise etc so expecting to draw a big crowd on the night.

    What should the cost to enter the event be keeping in mind i want to attract 40-50 players?

    I would hope to develop this to a twice montly game and Gtd prize money of at least €1000 to start with.

    Game will be played in a purpose built room with four Brand New Blade III'S on the wall with excellant lighting.

    Cash games to follow the Tournament

    And beverages & Food for all.

    Please come back to me with some ideas, Views etc.

    Thank you

    And you will be doing well to guarantee a grand a month. I have a feeling we have been down this road before.

    two things.
    Your boards are too close together. try standing at one of the middle two boards to score and you have another board right behind you. the scorer has ho room to move. they are unsafe to use.
    second get some good oches a bit of tape on the ground is no good

    Stick around E20 as already suggested. BE SURE to check both dartsinireland.com website, Page 727 TnaG and INDO at irelanddarts.com to avoid clashing with any other event and get your dates right and have flyers ready to place on every table at next Sunday's first round of the players champs.
    Have a minimum of 4 boards for games and one practise and start no later than 1pm.
    If you get 50 to play it covers the E1,000 (though I'm sure any bar holding it will expect to put money in also) and if more you'll up a few bob. However guarantee the money and if you get less entrants than needed the first day be prepared to take a hit initially if need be because if players know the money is there and paid out they'll turn up but if they hear it wasn't all paid out they'll march.

    I think you have the wrong venue in mind as there is no boards behind a player as you have said.

    If there is a better darts set up in Munster please let me know because i have yet to see it.

    not the players. the persons marking and calling the scores. they have no room to stand. or do you intend having the players score their own games.you need to spread the boards out a bit better. also might want to move the pool tables when you have these games

    Just wondering if this comp is going ahead, might get a few lads together to travel. What kind of standard of player are you hoping to attract?

    You are right there, James, Ardmanning House is one of the best venues in the country with 10 boards and the stage.
    And they have been great supporters of darts in Cork for almost thirty years - - - long may it last !
