In Response To: Attendance ... Perhaps it is the Money (Bill Riles)

I wouldn't travel to any tourney with a $50 entry fee no matter how much I liked it, assuming the prize pool were similarly discounted. As it is I can barely hope to break even; if the prizes or chous were significantly reduced I'd just be leaking a ton of money every tournament.

You would still get local players but it wouldn't attract too many others.

Added money would be nice.

High schools, unlikely, it is a dice game, but maybe possible. College is where I learned to play, so why not?
