NOT everything is “fun & games”. Two years of preparations. Months of planning. Weeks of physical labor – AND – then you’re ready to begin the most hectic ten days of action that will leave you tired, sore and bordering on exhaustion. While
the games are being played on the field – the real work is going on
behind the scenes and between the games. Groundskeepers,
personnel for the concession & souvenir stands, ticket takers,
parking attendants, score-keepers, clean-up and security are some of the
jobs that go into running a successful tournament. |

With games being played on two
fields from 8am until
10pm – players, fans and officials will be ready, willing and able to
avail themselves of the various souvenirs, concessions and beverages
that you can provide.
Income for the
tournament organizers is
available from - parking, admissions, souvenirs, concessions,
beverages and “sponsors”.
The potential for such income is directly related to the
“marketing” that you as a “host” do for this major event. The more effort that is made to get “seats-in-the-stands” – the more “profit” you can expect. “If you do it right – they will come” |

While the proceeds from all
of these “income
generating” items are the
property of the “hosting
organization” – and therefore not usually shared with the ISC
– we do have some interesting and informative facts
that we can share with you. During the 1985 ISC World Tournament in Kimberly, WI. the following concessions were sold by the “hosting organization”:
200,000 cups of soda
