Although I’m not proud of my history of bouncing from one
club to the next, I did find a few things in my journey that seem to be common
to clubs which are “going and growing”. For what it may be worth, here is my prioritized
list:
1.
Friendliness/mutual respect.
a.
I believe most of us prefer to play among our
own club membership because it is less likely that we will run across someone who sucks the fun out of the game.
2.
An “all in” owner.
a.
An owner who is available to all.
b.
An owner who strives to maintain a healthy club
atmosphere.
c.
An owner who is active.
d.
An owner who is knowledgeable and experienced.
e.
An owner/Director who recognizes the
achievements of members.
3.
An interactive club membership.
a.
A sizable portion of the membership who get together
often for multi-player games; fun and competitions.
b.
Audio communication options such as Skype,
Discord or Team Speak.
c.
People who know each other by their real names.
d.
All tiers being comfortable playing with one
another.
4.
A comprehensive slate of club tournaments.
a.
A good selection of single player tournaments
for all tiers.
b.
Various multi-player games especially bracket
tournaments for all tiers.
PS I’m no longer searching for the perfect club because
their ain’t none, especially when I join…lol
