Local game tournament feedback
After a local card, video or board game tournament: how the day felt for players, win or lose.
The conviction read: a wide spread on 'something to do once I was out' separates the players who stayed to watch from the ones who drifted home early. The bracket only shows who won, so plan something for the early exits.

Questions about this template
Does this work for card, video and board game events alike?
Yes. The items cover check-in, format, gaps between rounds, rulings and what to do once a player is out, which apply whatever the game. Reword any item in your draft copy to match your format before you send it.
How should I read a spread on 'Rulings on disputes felt fair'?
Often as players who got a ruling against them next to players who never needed one. Post the rules you will judge by before the first round, and give rulings out loud so both players hear the reasoning.
