Ok, obviously I am doing something wrong?? I wonder why people are not participating in my Halloween tourny. I changed the date to the day before Halloween thinking this would help with the trick or treater issues. So I figured I would ask why and try to fix it. I am doing it to give back to the community here by putting it on. I have never seen such a low responce to FREE MONEY... As many of u know, I participate in many of your private tourny's to help support you.
Some days I play in 3,4,5 of them. As many as I can handle. To show you all support. I appoligize sometimes I can only handle one at a time. On a good day I will attempt 2 if there around the same time unless I am deep into one. I get several requests a day to participate and really enjoy it. Getting to know all of you, and having a good time, a good laugh etc. I guess what I would hope for is someone would support a tourny I did. Because I have only done 2 myself. The first one had a great turnout. And I didn't offer a thing..except a trophy that wasn't known about until after the tourny. And a complimentry shock treatment lol. So I just don't get it.
So I figured I would ask you all for suggestions to make this tourny better and more appealing for you all to want to come and participate. I can't afford any more money.... lmao... So what u see is what you get. But I am willing to take suggestions on how to make it better. Because after all , I am putting it on for you all here at Railbirds. I want it to be what you want.
I did the couples idea because I though it would be a good idea to show someone else on rb that you appreciate them. You can never apprecaite your friends too much. And also to have a railer during the tourny. I love to see people railing people on during a game. Isn't that a part of what railbirds is? I know I enjoy it very much. And always try to show support to my railers when I win something big, by giving back. Iv'e done it myself several times. So I would really like people at the tourny supporting one another... And I am offering money just to make the blog... lol... So why is it so hard to ask someone? I don't know.
Costumes are easy to find online. I seen people do these in a blog already. So I don't think this is the issue at hand. I chose to keep the password private this tourny, to have a little fun with having to get it, and also to keep unwanted password thieves out. Because I have seen it so many times here latley , that such a meaningful game was ruined by someone who wasn't suppose to even be there. And end up winning money that was ment for people here in the community. And I personally want to keep the money I do give out to no one except the people here on Rb.
So I will leave it at this... If any of you .. I mean anyone...Have any ideas to make this work, and be the best tourny it can be. Please leave me some suggestions. I would hate to not be able to have it. I am really looking forward to it. Thanks
link for the tourny if you have no clue what I am talking about.. lol

Well MI ... You have to remeber that the tourney doesn;t start for 22 days you still have plenty of time to get people to play ..... I myself can never find a partner to join with me LMAO ( I must really suck at poker ) LMAO but it doesn;t bother me ... I do hope you have a good turn out and from the few months of hosting a tourney no matter if your giving money away or not ... people like to join at the very last minute LMAO
Well Don't get your hopes down.... I am sure you will have a great turn out ... just keep on bumping and spamming LOL ... you will just have to make a few people mad for spamming to thme I guess I garantee I did when i hosted my tourney a while ago
Well Best of Luck to ya and have fun

I think it sounds great - unfortunately it is too early for me to know if I can play or not. My work schedule is very hectic. If I can participate - I will. You put alot of work into this and it sounds fun.
Thanks hick, I changed the date from halloween to the day before also just in case that was the problem.. lol.. maybe I worry to much... I'm crazy I can't help it. lmao...
Good luck all!!!!
I started on my "proposal" this morning and should be through by end of day.
Of course if my hubby mrtrc266 doesn't accept..... well, let's just say I'll be bringing Halloween Hubby Roadkill to the tourney with me! 
As to signing up, like Hick said... people show up closer toward the tourney. Any tourney I've been involved in gets slammed the couple of days before and especially the hour before!
Gotta get back to shopping for a costume! Already got my numbers picked out!
Everyday is Halloween
