I typed like 10 paragraphs and then I deleted it because I don't know what lurkers are out there.  I will say one thing about cost from the club perspective (and make no mistake there are a lot of just sheer money grabs going on).....but facilities charge a lot and officials charge a lot.  To register for a tournament it costs 2K per team.  XYZ Club team has 5 teams (grades 7-11).  That's 10K x4 weekends.  You're talking 40K in summer registration fees for that club team.

The real money is in hosting events.  So if any of you guys wants to go in on a collective we should secure 20 acres of land, build the facilities and then host tournaments year around.  We'd make millions.  Take that to the bank.  Primetime is making several hundred thousand dollars (before expenses) in one weekend, just hosting the Lake George event.

The recent weekend event in Stuart, FL was charging $650 per player.  Apex in the fall in Maryland was $650 a player but at least they threw in a shiny new XRS helmet and had PLL players as coaches.
