In Response To: Do Tournament Directors make too much money? (MFIC)

Such an accounting would be highly enlightening for all. Because I don't think people have a clue how all of the nickels and dimes add up to big dollars.

Being a TD is a thankless job, requiring countless hours of work both before the tournament and during and it has always been my belief that except in rare cases the director's profit (if indeed there is one) does not even begin to compensate for the work and stress taken on. What is the TD actually making on an hourly basis for all their effort? Not much.
