Lisa, thank you for all the info you share with us. I know as a contractor that there is always cost that the customer never sees in the finished project. And to me this tourniment is a job that Janel is doing. You listed alot of the cost and I am sure there are more that we have no idea about. If people want cash winners for the remaining 100 players who I may be one of then we must not complain about the cost if the next tournament cost $400 to enter. Then everyone will get something but will have to pay more to enter.
I am happy that there is a silver strike given out just for entering. Everyone is ahead of the game already with just that strike. To me the top 50 strikes are a bonus. And I do hope I am one of the lucky winners of those strikes. Just a comment from the peanut gallery.
