Whether you bet for money or just play for fun, the card game of euchre can be enjoyable as well as addictive. When you play online in the virtual world, you need to build up your online character to match the interests and playing techniques of your real-life player. By using a few free Internet resources, you can organize an online euchre tournament to interact and play with friends.

Instructions

1. 

   Go to Yahoo! Games and set up a free account.

2. Ask other friends online and in person if they are interested in playing in an online euchre tournament.

3. 

   Organize a free blog to host the organizing of your euchre tournament. Pick out a name for your tournament and post it on your blog so everyone will recognize it when they enter Yahoo! Games.

4. 

   Allow posting access on your blog to users whom you have invited or who have a shared interest in playing online euchre. You will need an even number of players to form the teams.

5. List all of the user names of the players on your blog. Prepare blog guests for the upcoming tournament by pairing them up as partners.

6. Set up a time to begin the tournament.

7. Log on to Yahoo! Games and wait for the other members to log on. Each player should find her partner at the designated tables.

8. 

   Play four games of euchre. The team with the highest score passes to the next round and meets the winner at the designated table.

9. Use the community chat room in Yahoo! Games to communicate with all of the teams as to when the next game will start and which table to go to. When the game comes down to two teams, the one with the highest score wins.

10. 

    Record games stats and results in your online blog.

Tips & Warnings

• If you are hosting a large tournament, play only four games per day to organize winners, and then post results so players can be prepared for the next day.

• Have players fill out an online profile similar to their online skills and interests.

• You can keep score by awarding each team a combined score, or you can keep track of individual scores and choose a winner that way.

• You can also use a paid gaming service to organize the entire tournament for you.
