Reserve a venue for your tournament. You will need somewhere large enough to hold all of your players, plus any spectators who may attend. Local schools often have gymnasiums or large study halls which you can use, and you can also reserve room in local community centers or host it in a private home if you wish. Wherever it is, it should be comfortable and quiet so that the players can concentrate.
Recruit knowledgeable chess players to serve as referees. Cheating takes place in chess just as in any other sport, and players may have disputes which require neutral arbiters to settle.
Write down the elimination rules for your tournament. Chess tournaments can follow a number of different formats. The simplest is a single elimination tournament, in which the loser of each game is knocked out until only one player remains. A more flexible format is a Swiss tournament, in which players are seeded into different groups and then play every other player in that group. The player with the best record in each pool advances to play the winners of the other pools.
Write down any other rules you require for your tournament. This includes any variation on the classic rules of chess, stipulations for breaks and clock usage, and time limits for each match. Time limits are important because chess matches can last for days otherwise. A one-hour or 90-minute limit for each match--evenly divided between the players with chess clocks--is recommended. Make sure your referees know the specific rules of the tournament before you begin.
Advertise for your chess tournament in local schools, chess clubs and libraries. Include contact information and registration rules, as well as prizes, fees, and the location of the tournament itself. Allow at least three weeks’ advance notice to bring in enough players and keep careful count of the number of players who sign up.
Purchase any remaining equipment you need, such as boards, pieces and clocks for every game, chairs and tables if required, and any other items such as water bottles or other refreshments.

Meaning of a Domain Name ExtensionIn Feburary 2016 21,
In Feburary 2016 21,
There are two basic types of domain name extensions: country code top-level domains, and generic top-level domains. Further, generic top-level domains can be either sponsored or unsponsored.
Country Codes
If the domain name extension of a website is only two characters long, then it's a country code top-level domain, or 'ccTLD.' Examples include '.us' for the United States, '.br' for Brazil and '.de' for Germany (Deutschland). Country codes are managed by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority, and as of 2010, there were nearly 250 ccTLDs, one for every country in the world plus special-status territories such as Hong Kong (.hk), the Falkland Islands (.fk) or Puerto Rico (.pr). Each country designates a government agency or a private company to handle registrations under its ccTLD, and each can set its own rules for who or what can register. Some allow only their own citizens or businesses to register, others allow anyone to register--and some actively market their ccTLDs as a source of revenue. Two examples of the latter are the Pacific Ocean island nations of Tuvalu (.tv) and the Federated States of Micronesia (.fm).
Unsponsored
The most common domain name extensions are the unsponsored generic TLDs. They're called 'unsponsored' because no agency approves registrations; anyone anywhere in the world can register domains with these extensions. Unsponsored TLDs include '.com,' '.org' and '.net.' Generally, '.com' sites are commercial, '.org' websites belong to non-profits and trade associations, and '.net' addresses are used by Internet-related companies, but these categories are not enforced at all. If you go to register a domain with a '.org' extension, no one is going to check whether your organization qualifies. Other unsponsored generic TLDs include '.info,' '.biz' and '.name.'
Sponsored
Sponsored generic top-level domains are those that have a gatekeeper--an agency or organization that decides who can and can't register. The most familiar sponsored extensions are '.gov,' which is managed by the U.S. federal government; '.edu,' which is open only to post-secondary educational institutions accredited by an agency recognized by the U.S. Department of Education; and '.mil,' reserved for the U.S. military. Other sponsored TLDs include '.aero' for the air-transport industry; '.asia' for Asia-Pacific entities; '.cat' for Catalan language and cultural sites; '.coop' for cooperatives; '.int' for international organizations; '.jobs' for human resources managers; '.mobi' for the mobile communications industry; '.museum' for museums; and '.travel' for the travel and tourism industry.
Direction
Lists of all websites registered under each TLD are stored on 'root servers' maintained in 13 clusters around the world for redundancy. When you punch a Web address into your browser, the first place it looks is the root server list for the TLD in the address; that list points it to the proper 'name server' for the website.

Guide to Hosting Car ShowsIn Feburary 2016 11,
In Feburary 2016 11,
First, decide on the type of car show you want to hold. Some car shows welcome the general public to show their cars, while others invite certain car dealers exclusively. If you decide to invite only dealers, you can make a list of dealers who sell the types of cars you want to show and send invitation letters to only those dealers.There are endless numbers of themes that car shows can have, including antique cars, modified cars and unrestored cars. Once you've picked a type of car show, you need to advertise as much as possible, both to get participants in the show and to get the general public to come and look at the cars you're showing.
Venue
You need a venue to hold your car show. You should check with the venue to see if you need to fill out any paperwork or if there are any special rules or restrictions or permits that you might need to obtain. If the venue is small, you will probably need to limit the number of cars you can show. If this is the case, consider that parking spaces are about 10 feet by 20 feet, so you can measure the space to determine how many cars you can allow. Remember that in addition to space for the cars you're showing, you will need space for vendor tables and people to walk around, and you'll also need access to power outlets, extension cords or speaker systems in order to run the show effectively. You'll also want to check with the venue to see if there will be bathrooms, garbage or other amenities available.Work with the venue and the people involved in the show to establish rules for the day, such as how close people can get to the cars, whether there will be food and drink allowed, how long the show will last, etc., and post the rules in the venue.
Personnel
Hosting a car show is a very big job and you will want to recruit some volunteers to help you. Tasks that you might want to assign to volunteers the day of the show include site set up and clean up, checking in cars, walking them to their parking spaces, directing traffic and making announcements.
Activities
You may choose to include activities in your car show, such as voting for best car in several classes. Whatever activities you include, make sure you have adequate supplies such as voting sheets, favors and prizes. Many car shows give out trophies to the owners of the best cars.
