6. The 'take' is about standard for a tournament of our size with so many players.
If our buyin was $500 each it would still probably only be $30 per player.
If our buyin was $40 each it would still be $30.
The club takes ZERO from the tournys.

3 & 7. May be a shock, but to break even we would have to INCREASE prices.
The 'loss' is offset by sales at the club table and THE AUCTION.
