Let's expose some tournament ripoffs.

It'll be challenging to compare.

Criteria: Gate fee (per person, per weekend or team), tournament cost and guaranteed minimum of games.

Example:

XYZ tournament: Entry fee $550. Family gate fee $25. 3 game minimum guaranteed. We'll assume 15 players and 2 parents attending the entire weekend.

XYZ = $308 per game

ABC tournament: Entry fee $600. $18 weekend pass. 3 game minimum guaranteed. Again, assuming 15 players and 2 parents attending the entire weekend.

ABC = $380 per game

Don't want to over analyze this but gives one to think about when entering tournaments.

Please include math and basic information with your replys and

ALSO INCLUDE GIRLS, BOYS and LEVEL. NAME OR TOURNAMENT. Maybe link.

I'll keep a running edited total.
