Get a prize for the winner of your sports video game tournament. You could do this simply by having all of the players pay $5 to enter the tournament and then allowing the winner of the tournament to take all of the cash. A gift card is another idea for a prize, since they are practical and relatively inexpensive.

Before the tournament begins, seed the players. This can be done in a variety of ways. If you know the people pretty well, you probably have a good idea which players are stronger than others. You shouldn't have the two best players face off against one another in the first round of your tournament. However, if you're not familiar with the gaming ability of those in the tournament, simply seed the players by a blind draw. Picking numbers out of a hat, for example, is an easy way to create matchups for your sports video game tournament.
