    I understand that everything is increasing from a cost perspective with respect to operating a team. In addition School Budgets are also being tightened leaving more expenses to be absorbed by the team/boosters.

    I have seen numerous complaints on teh forum this season on Entry Fee's and Durations of smaller tournaments. I somewhat understand the desire to make money at your home events but it hits the wrestling families that are already travelling and helping fund their own teams.   

    Boosters and Coaches have got to do a better job of Fundraising and scheduling tournaments to make it a little more cost effective for families to attend their children's events.

    Here is one I do not understand at all: For our Sectional Duals, they were held at Freedom Hall (2 weekends ago) and we only had 6 teams participating. For some reason they broke it up over a Friday evening and Saturday (2 days).

    Parking Fee's were $10 each day

    Entry Fee was $25 per day/ per person. (2 day pass for Adult = $45, 2 day pass for student = $32)

    Gas for 2 trips to avoid an overnight hotel stay = $40

    Beat this as a ridiculous cost for a 6 team Dual tournament. This estimate assumes a family of 4 (2 parents and 2 kids)

    **Family of 4 to attend both days = ($10 parking x2) + ( $45 x2, $32 x2) + (4 pcs pizza and 4 drinks = $40) + ($40 gas) = $254

    This estimate only assumes one meal for the family at the site, but if you leave you have an additional $10 parking fee.
