Starting up a team

[HIKARU]

#1 way of getting sponsorship, almost fool proof.

ok here it is....

win enough tournaments to be recognized.

of course I don't speak from experience, but the way it works is this. it is a business, businesses want money, if you are a recognized team, they will probably consider you as a moving billboard for their product(s)/service(s). if you are not well known and aren't good who would want their company on that? next to nobody.

then again if you personally know a person from a major company that has sponsored then thats an entirely different story.

just like every other sport/hobby to be sponsored, you usually end up spending more money than what the sponsor ends up offering you, but remember you get as much as you put in (usually) so don't be such a lay down and actually work on your game instead of pan handling abilities. :)

I recruited my team from WARPIG player to player.Sponsorship comes in time,concentrate on playing as a team first,worry about sponsorships later,much later.Play all local tournies within a days travel time.Practice every week,work on skills like bunkering,or trying to NOT get bunkered.Make sure you get along off the field as well,go out every once in awhile for a non pb evening.
Assign a captain for on field and a seperate for off field(he does stuff like getting everyones money turned in to the event guys.)
Most important:HAVE FUN!
