I'd guess that you and the serious tourney players have to ask yourselves what the price elasticity is for your participation. It's great that certain contest-offerers are returning all the money generated by fees back as prizes, but it would seem they are running those events as loss leaders or as a service to the industry. But from what I understand -- and I'd imagine you and the players know -- the NTRA isn't remotely in that position right now.

Steve--thanks for the reply. Honestly, I do not know the answer to my questions. I don't think anyone does since the NTRA refuses to answer the question. I know you prefer to present the positive side of the game (which I appreciate). But, it is a fair topic to raise and maybe you could get a response where the contest players have not.
