What you need for a Keez tournament

A Keez tournament needs more than boards and cards. You will need enough complete sets for every table, spare pieces for damaged or missing items, and supplies for registration, scoring, drinks, and snacks. Buy or collect the tableware before tournament day, and chill drinks several hours ahead if you are using coolers. This checklist helps you cover the items people most often arrange too late, including table numbers, score sheets, timers, prizes, and serving equipment.

Tips

Count one complete Keez set for every active table, then keep at least one spare set of cards and extra cones available for replacements. Check every board, die, card deck, and playing piece before guests arrive.
Plan one chair per participant plus two extra chairs for organisers or late arrivals. You also need one numbered table card per game table, prepared before registration opens.
For drinks, provide at least two glasses per guest if you do not want to wash up during the tournament. Start chilling bottled or canned drinks at least 4 hours before the first round.
Prepare one score sheet and at least two pens per table, plus a visible scoreboard or central score display. Put kitchen timers at the tables if rounds have a fixed time limit.
Buy or collect prizes before tournament day and label them by category or ranking. Set aside serving trays, spoons, plates, cutlery, and napkins together so the buffet can be opened without searching for equipment.

Frequently asked questions

What do I need to buy for a Keez tournament?: You need Keez boards and complete sets for each active table, plus spare cards, cones, dice, pens, score sheets, table numbers, drinks, snacks, tableware, and prizes. Add tables and chairs if the venue does not provide them.
How many Keez sets do I need for a tournament?: Use one complete Keez set per active table. For example, four simultaneous tables require four sets; keep at least one spare set or replacement supply available in case cards or cones go missing.
How many drinks should I buy for a Keez tournament?: Allow two to three drinks per person for the first hour, then one to two drinks per person for each additional hour. Chill the drinks at least 4 hours before the start, especially if they are stored in coolers.
When should I prepare the shopping for a Keez tournament?: Buy non-perishable supplies, prizes, and tableware at least 3 to 5 days ahead. Buy fresh snacks 1 to 2 days before the tournament, and chill drinks on the morning of the event or at least 4 hours before guests arrive.
