Description

It has been 10 years since regional APBA tournaments began to appear nationwide. I started talking about creating a tournament at the  @ProFootballHOF  in summer 2012–and we are posted to hold our second there this August (26th-27th) during induction month and the NFL 2023 preseason.

Here, I talk about a few things to address when starting your own tabletop sports gaming event, from venue selection and acquisition to rules, awards, communications and more.
