Quoted from jackofdiamonds:Ive never seen the "don't take the event and yourself too seriously".NEVER.
Its always a bunch of super serious players worrying about their world rankings and WPPR points.
We started a regional league 18 months ago and most of the players don't take the events too seriously or give a damn about their rankings... We have 15 regular players, and 60+ who would participate to 1-3 events/year.
Some of them are good players, other caught the virus, and many come because we made these monthly gatherings a social event.
Casual players will appreciate:
- qualification rounds lasting no more than 3 hours (which is doable if you have a sufficient number of pins)
- side tourneys or challenges with small rewards
- discovering new games
- a quiet room nearby to chat and relax between games.
Add some drinks and snacks, organize a small BBQ once in while and your perception of tourneys will change.
