How to start my own jujitsu Tournament?

Can someone give me a time-line, information, etc. in how to start my own jiu-jitsu tournament? I am a teacher at a high school, so I have the space and matts for the tournament. Can someone give me information about sponsorships, insurance, liability waivers, and what other relevent information I need to know.|||First of all, you would need to find a place near you where people learn jujitsu, present this idea to the person in charge and ask them about the rest. They could be looking for a place to host a tournament anyway.|||the insurance company will help you with the waivers if you dont have one. there are a few that deal directly with martial arts


this would be the medium priced one.

edit:%26gt; there is a lot to running a tournament. it is not that simple.


i would suggest you go to several and see how its run, for starters.


when you start your tournament start with a small one about 2 to 4 schools and then slowly build up. as you tournament gets larger you will see additional issues you have to deal with. you need to get reliable judges, a few vendor, trophies, advertisement, are just some of the things you have to plan for. a smaller tournament, you still have some of these issue but it will give you experience to adjust. these issues are easier to deal with in a smaller environment. also you need to build up a following for your tournament and a reputation of a good tournament.


if you just send out ads to a hundred schools you wont get a good response if they dont know you. if you send to 5 schools that know you, you will get a better response.
