To me here are the minimum expectations
Days >=8
Rounds >=9
Players >=200 (in smaller communities maybe 175)
Master Level Players ..... how about prizes available to masters >= $10K - but in order to get your players up, you probably need to land at least 2 or 3 GM's at least 6 months prior to the event.
Entry Fee = whatever the market will bear
