To give out heavy cash prizes you would need to look for sponsors.

Other than that, you could have people pay from $10-$50 per competition depending on what kind of set up you and how many people are entering and give out lets say $500 in a grand prize if they pay $50 per entry and you have around 30-40 entries. That would be worth it for you.

But I've never been on that end of the shop, you'd still have to do a ton of research, perhaps speak to people with experience owning shops like this.

Good luck!

1.) might want to learn how to type first
2.) get a business degree/license
3.) build up credit now so when you ask for a business loan they'll actually give you one
4.) start looking for low rent office places @ stip-centers (the non-adult kind)
5.) ???
6.) profit

Linux and Hideki make good points.

Also you'll want to think of what type of gaming competitions you will be hosting.
Are you going to have competitions for many different games, or specialize in one or two games?

You'll also have to think of advertising and find out who you'll be targeting to attend these competitions so you know where and who to advertise to.
