This article is from the College Bowl FAQ, by George Atendido aten0001@tc.umn.edu with numerous contributions by others.
That's a subject worthy of its own FAQ! Running an invitational
tournament is the main source of revenues for many clubs. Indeed, a fair
number of schools on the invitational circuit would be unable to afford
to travel if not for the money raised by their own tourneys. However,
running an invitational, whether it's a high school event or an
intercollegiate competition, isn't easy.
For a *brief* overview of what is involved in running an invitational,
check out the document first-time-tourney-command from the web site (as
of this writing, it is not known which directory it is stored in). This
document is a combination of articles on the subject posted by Pat
Matthews and Doug O'Neal.

Direction FAQ", please contact Mike Haynes of Bowling Green at
