There is a lot of good advice in this thread. Go to some different matches and see what happens and how it goes. It can be a good time for all if done right. Keep it simple and cheap. The main thing to remember is to have a safe match and enjoy the fun times with friends. The good times and memories should be the main focus, not who "won" or "lost". When a group of friends do something they enjoy together, everyone wins.
