Marking this for our next TM7 in the ~AGORA marketplace, I'm curious to see how it will go. Keep us posted!

As you posted here in ~events, look's your aim is more focus on the organization and management of the tournaments instead of a proper center or location to provide value and host a community.

These are two different things, my suggestion is to start small if you want to run events, and with time you'll find more things as it grows. You could run an event in a single chess table in a park. No need for venue, no need for funds. Just a min of two participant organized for fun.

No one is going to give you a dime if there's no history, or at least some proof of work done. This could be a properly organized project with a center Plan, a tournament schedule, the aim to make it international and recognized by relevant entities in the field. Maybe I'm wrong.
