There’s several ways you could do it, but I’d need more information to give you some ideas.
Like how much time do you have, how many tournaments are you going to run, and how many people are going to be showing up at your tournaments.
One way, you could run weekly tournaments for say 6 months. The entry fee, something like . goes to a prize pool for the tournament, and goes to a pool for the WSOP prize package.
So if you ran a tournament every week for 6 months, it would be around 24 tournaments. You would need 100 people for each tournament to get ,000, which would be for a ,000 entry fee, and ,000 for expenses.

It’s just simple math. You need to raise $13,000. This will cover the $10,000 buy in, a hotel for the week, and the flight.
So take the number of players you have, consider the number of times you want to meet each week, and count how many tournaments you have time to have between now and the WSOP.
So for example if there were 20 weeks to go and 10 players:
$13,000 / 20 / 10 = $65 buy in per tournament.
In each tournament award 5 points for first, 3 for second and 2 for third place. At the end of the 20 weeks, the person with the most points gets the money to go to the WSOP.
Consider too that there are much smaller events than the main event. So you might decide to award several prizes for the $1,500 events or satellite events.
