How to Run a Pool Tournament in a BarIn Feburary 2016 28,
In Feburary 2016 28,
Decide how many players will be allowed, keep in mind time and the number of available pool tables. The average weekly bar tournament allows 8-16 players for at least 2 pool tables. Draw up brackets or download them for free at a number of sites.
Decide on the rules of the pool tournament, including the number of games per match . Almost every league has its own variation on billiard rules, so specify what leagues rules you choose to follow. It is easier to pick a league to follow so that rules can be looked up or distributed to all players in the pool tournament.
When choosing the number of games per match keep time in mind. No player wants to wait hours between matches, but the bar owner needs players there long enough to buy food and drinks. An average 8-Ball tournament can be a race to see who wins 3 games, 9-Ball is often a race to 5 games.
Set an entry fee and ask the bar owner if they would like to add anything to the pot. This could include free drink coupons, t-shirts, or cash. You don't have to decide the exact dollar amount of the pay-outs at this time, but you should choose how the split will look as a percentage. For example, an average weekly bar pool tournament will split the pay-out like this: 1st Place - 50 percent, 2nd Place - 30 percent 3rd Place - 20 percent. The bar owner can decide how and when to award prizes they donated.
Advertise the pool tournament everywhere you can. Most pool league operators have newsletters they send out, ask to be included. Set fliers around the bar where the pool tournament is to be held, and other bar owners may allow you to advertise if pool is not their main interest.
Setting up a pool tournament at a bar
Arrive at the bar early on the day of the pool tournament to have everything set up before players come in. Start taking names and money from entrants as soon as they show up. Keep all entry money in a secure area.
Count the number of entrants in the pool tournament. You may end up with an odd number of players or a less than full bracket. You can still have a tournament as long as there are at least 7 players. You will need to add 'byes' to the brackets.
Players can draw cards for placement in a bracket . However you choose to seed players, call them all together around a pool table and do it in an orderly fashion. Write the number drawn next to each person's name on the list of entrants. Double-check that all numbers have been assigned.Transfer the players' names to the corresponding number on the bracket sheet.
Double-check money, payouts, and brackets, and call your first match. Ask some interested and knowledgeable on-lookers to help in watching tables.
Monitoring a pool tournament at a bar
Pay attention to all of the games being played. Try not to get too deeply involved in one match or conversation, keep an open ear to the entire bar.
Make rulings yourself or have and impartial person watch the shot in question. Have a rule book handy for the closest of calls. Some players know the rules to the letter and may call the smallest infraction, so advise all of the pool tournament players to read the rule book prior to playing.
Update brackets and call new billiard matches timely. Play at least two rounds on the winner's side of the tournament bracket before moving to the loser's side. After being eliminated, most players will leave the bar, this does nothing for the bar owner's business.Try to rotate between the winner's bracket and the loser's bracket to spread out play for everyone. No one wants to sit for hours between matches, and word will get around.
Wrapping up a pool tournament at a bar
Watch the final billiard matches closely and bring attention to it among the patrons. Announce the money matches as they come up. Billiard players thrive on attention and will return for the spotlight if nothing else.
Make a big deal about pay outs and prizes. Announce to the entire bar who the winners are and what place they came in or what prize they won. You shouldn't announce the monetary amount, if any.
Invite players back, especially good ones. The better players you have, the more players you will draw. Every billiard player loves a challenge, and a well run tournament may even the odds for beginners.

Twitter Vs. TextingIn Feburary 2016 28,
In Feburary 2016 28,
Text messages are written notes sent from cell phone to cell phone. Very similar to online chat or instant messaging, text messaging uses emoticons like the world-famous smiley face :) to express feelings in the messages. Texting is the verb used to refer to the act of sending a text message. Texting is now so popular that answering machines and voice mail are becoming obsolete because of it.
Twitter
Twitter is actually a web-based social network that has achieved immense popularity. Even celebrities and political figures have taken to tweeting. A tweet, derived from the website name Twitter, is an online status posting by a member of Twitter. The tweet does not have to have a specific recipient. You can simply tweet what you are doing or what's on your mind at that moment. The tweet is then sent out to others on the network who follow your tweets, or it can be set up so it can be viewed by anyone.
Advantages of Texting Over Tweeting
A text message maintains privacy. It is sent between you and your recipient, and no other party will be able to view it. When you send a text message, the recipient's cell phone will ring or vibrate, notifying the person that a text has been received. He can then read it at his convenience and reply if he wishes.
Advantages of Tweeting Over Texting
Tweets do not have a primary recipient. This makes them much more useful to make an announcement to all your friends, where you would have had to send out dozens of text messages to get the same effect. It also is convenient for just making general observations or updating relatives and friends on what you are up to. Unlike a text message, it won't actually alert them specifically. If they log in to Twitter, they will be able to see your post, but they will not be interrupted just to get the message.
Price
Text messaging is still a service that is calculated by the number of texts sent and received. Wireless providers usually have two or three plans with varying numbers of texts for a flat fee, and then you will be charged a fee if you go over your predetermined limit. Most providers also have a certain price for unlimited texting that usually rivals the cost of the phone plan itself. Tweeting is completely free from a computer, and if you have a smart phone with the internet activated, it will be free on the move as well.
