BarLeague(Much like Barcraft)

A little about me before we dive into my idea here, I live in South Florida and have always heard of people tossing around the term "Barcraft". I know what it is and like the idea of it and have been thinking of doing the same thing but for a LoL event. I know a bar down here that would be perfect to have it at, but am interested to see what others would think. I am an apprentice electrician full time, work at GameStop part time and make youtube videos related to LoL, DotA2 and a rare SC2 video now and then but majority LoL and DotA. It would be a small tournament of around 8 teams(keep it small at first and can expand as it grows), the games would be recorded, casted and put up on youtube for all to see and MAY even be streamed live. I have casted several tournaments before and continue to cast when I can my Youtube channel.

Obviously for this to work every member of every team would have to be over the age of 21(may get special permission to make it an 18+ thing), and it will take a lot of time and effort as well as prizes good enough to make it worth doing. The downfall that I can see right now is that I don't have enough computers(I have my main and a backup with no hard drive in my closet), and thus would have to have people bring their own OR find a place that would let me borrow their computers for this to happen. I know of very few people that would be willing to bring their own personal computers to a place and fewer places willing to lend out their computers for a tournament to something they wont understand. Any feedback and suggestions would be welcome :).

P.S. Sorry if this is in the wrong area, where would be the best to post this?

Also, when I say South Florida I mean the West Palm Beach area.

are you referring to BarCraft in the sense that you want to host a LAN event? or BarCraft in the sense that you will be hosting a bar-based viewing party for a major event, because those are two distinctly different things :p if you are referring to the former, then you are misusing the term BarCraft. id weigh in on the event, but i do not live in the area(i live near Seattle, where the term BarCraft sortof originated). im just trying to clarify for everyone else, because your OP just sounds like you want to host a LAN event.
