Do ever play Spades? Would you like to put on your own tournament? Hi, my name is Dean
Hale and I'm going to give you some information today about how to put on your own Spades
Tournament. A Spades tournament would normally have thirty-two players. So, what you would
do is have registration. Pick a registration fee, ten, twenty, twenty-five dollars per
player, and when you come in you're going to have the team captain draw a number from
one through sixteen out of a hat. That would be the team that they are on. When you have
the two players on the same team, you sit them at other tables. You're going to have
sixteen tables set up and what you're going to do is have four rounds of play that are
going to consist of thirty minute rounds. Each round you're going to play to a point
total of two-hundred fifty. If in thirty minutes the two-hundred fifty point total has not
been reached, the team with the highest score is going to win that round. Now, with sixteen
teams, you're going to play four rounds, so you're going to play down 'til you have the
final two teams. The team that wins in the final round of the thirty minutes, is declared
the Champion. The basic rules of Spades are going to be the same, as any other Spades
game, except you're playing with a time limit rounds and you're playing to two-hundred fifty
points per round, which is a little bit lower than usual, so make sure you adjust your game
accordingly and know that you want to have a high point total very quickly. My name's
Dean Hale and that's the basics for putting on a Spades Tournament.
