Things needed to run a good successful K-12 chess tournament say 2-4 times a month.|||1. Good venue (how many kids do you want to bring, 20 or 200?)
2. Will you run real time ratings/standings? (then, a computer and printer).
3. Good trustable help. About one extra person for each 20 kids.
4. Tables and chairs if you don't have them at your venue.
5. Academic Chess in California feeds their kids during a 3 hour contest, usually pizza and soda. Plates, cups, and a standing order with your fave local outlet.
6. Chess Emporium in Phoenix likes to rent school MPRs. This will require some early comms with a District or a private school.
7. Of course, trophies. Individual and...team?
If you want more ideas, try asking a local chess provider what they would bring to "your school's tournament"!
