| This may be considered an unusual question, but here goes. I host a monthly tournament at my home. It has grown to almost three tables of eight players. My home is not large enough to add anymore tables, but I could easily add players if I had the space. I have thought about renting out a small meeting room at a local hotel that would accommodate 30-50 players. Does anyone have any suggestions about this idea? | ||

| Depends on a lot of things, like the hotel, services required, (beverages? tables and chairs? more?), but probably prohibitvely expensive unless you're able to find an off-chain or low-cost-chain with a room around the size of what you require. One thing to really beware of, though, are the legal ramifications of an unregulated gambling game in a public forum. | ||

| knight of columbus, american legion halls, moose clubs, get a number of you regulars to join on the clubs for the 20 bucks a year and you have a nice place to play ring games as well as tournies. I hold a once a month NL tourny.... | ||

| Renting the room can be a good idea. We hold two tourneys a month and use a rented room. The idea of a public forum could change from state to state I'm sure, but case precident shows that if you rent a room it is still private since it is under your control for the time rented just like your house would be. We maintain that our game is private because you have to be accompanied by a regular player or be invited by one to play with us. Check your local laws. Gmac Gmac | ||

| As long as you let the hotel know that you are playing a legal game without a rake, I think it would be ok for you to rent the room and split the cost of the rental among the players. Better yet, such meeting rooms can often be rented from libraries cheap. The problem will be tables, I would imagine. | ||
