Review the organizer guide and the rulebooks. Try the quiz. Other organizers are very willing to help you get started generally.

If you can, also try to have someone who isn't doing anything besides calling out matches. It is very hard to call matches when you are judging and playing matches.
I saw somewhere that organizers have to pay for tournaments? Is that true? I was under the impression that they were free

This is false. While we do not have to pay for tournaments, we do not get financial support to run the tournament.
Financial means money though. So how do we not pay for it but not get financial support? That sounds like we need to get financial stuff or something. I’m confused

Basically i'm saying you don't get paid. All the equipment is on you.

But how come in the organizers guide it says “submit tournament fees”(Oct. 15, 2021 2:47 AM)TheRogueBlader Wrote: Financial means money though.

I'm pretty sure that's for when it does cost money to enter a tournament. When it does the money usually goes towards renting the Tournament Area and/or Prizes.
The WBO traditionally charged an entry fee for its events. That has been suspended for some time but will probably resume in the future. In the past, when organizers collected the entry fee, they are suppose to submit that entry fee to the WBO. The fees that the organizers are current charging are venue fees to pay for the venue as entry fee has been suspended. That venue fee goes to the organizers, and from the organizers to the venue owner. WBO organizers cannot profit form events.
The WBO is a Not for Profit Organization. The entry fee submitted to the WBO are used to maintain its operations. The WBO does need an income to do things such as keeping this forum up. Organizers, in past, when entry fees were collected, could also request for prize money reimbursement. That’s is another example of where the entry fee money was used for.

As in organizers can charge a fee for entry so it can pay for prizes?

Organizers may collect fees for only 2 reasons I can think of, venue rental and WBO entry fee (when and if that gets reinstated).(Oct. 15, 2021 4:43 AM)Shindog Wrote: The WBO traditionally charged an entry fee for its events.
