In the case of Arkham Horror and Twilight Imperium, set up could be its own event.

Its the equivalent to putting a flag up in open gaming and asking players to join you.  If, on the other hand, you are willing to let as many players join you as want to play, fill out the appropriate paperwork, and play more than one round, if necessary, than you will be running a "public" event or tournament.

>> Shane, I don't fully understand this. As described I fall into this category with my Twilight Imperium game. I have an 8 hour slot with a limit of 8 players max. The game can't accommodate more than this so this means if I have more than 8 people show up I have to run more than 1 game?

I noticed that some of you have been submitting events and limiting the number of players to one game.  I will not be approving these as public events anymore.  If you are scheduling a public event, that means you are willing to take all comers, which may result in more than one game being played and therefore requiring more than one round.  This is especially true of new games that players are interested in learning.
