Hi, Jason! Here's some of the basic info I'd consider for a latte art throwdown:
-make sure you have an emcee that is comfortable hosting and can keep things on schedule. The emcee should inform people when sign ups begin and five minutes prior to sign up ending. Emcee should explain the competition and rules, as well as introduce the judges. Announce the two competitors who are up, and the two following to make sure that competitors stay close by.
-a 16 or 32 person single elimination bracket is going to be easiest. Run head to head from the bracket to advance to the next round, and so on.
-food and beer/wine is good if it's an over 21 event. Pizza is always easy.
-schedule a couple of your staff for general barback/maintenance/hospitality so that things can be handled during the throwdown (washing pitchers, dialing in espresso, etc.)
-Music!!
