Why the disparity in regional entry fees? I know supply and demand type of thing, but $60 for 2 events in Oregon, and $110 for 2 events in Chicago???? I think it was$80 for Atlanta. Last year in Chicago we had a small draw and people were complaining about the cost. I know the Pro Nationals are in conjunction with Chicago regionals but regionals shouldn't be subsidizing an IRT event.:?:

In addition to those low entry fees, the Oregon tournaments feature full hospitality ALL weekend =)

There have been some talks of changes, however. Tourney Directors have a very tough time providing all that food, etc on such a low take from the entry fees. Food sponsors are pretty much a requirement ..

Kimi, you mean you were handling that monster musical connections theme at the same time as playing your regional tournament? Mad skillz, just mad! Good luck, bring home some hardware.

Just curious?? Why are players in New Mexico exempt from having to play in a regional qualifier or pay the $100 fee?
