Jonathan,
The very best of luck on this venture. Every new tournament on the calender is important and I would encourage everyone to support it. The venue is a problem though. If you haven't identified and agreed terms for one, it is obviously very difficult for players to support it financially. You would be well advised to tackle the venue issue as a top priority asap. This brings you to the chicken and egg scenario...how many players am I expecting and how big a venue do I need to hire? If you hire a venue too small you are kicking yourself when the entries flood in (often the day before). If you go for something too big and expensive the costs could be painful, very painful. Hope you can resolve this issue in the very near future.
