Actually, that doesn't sound out of line to me. I have no problem with the $55.00 if you take the time to read his post, digest what it includes, and compare it to other national tournaments. Take Rollers World of Wrestling as an example. You pay $25 (or $30 for Reno) to enter, if you need another coaches pass its $25, your wife inlaws, whoever pay at least $8.00 or so to get in, $4.00 for a program. My math says Ohio is as economical as Tulsa, Council Bluff, Reno, etc..
You cant compare YOUR tournament to these. Don't know where your from, but I would be hard pressed to beleive your awards are anywhere near what they provide, your facility is not in the $1000's of dollars to use, and what makes the $'s worth paying is that the competition level for those that are looking for it can be found there, not at your local tournament.
I responded because I like to see tournaments made aware of on this site, and if all its going to get in return is negative and unthought out comments, then they will quit providing us with the information. If you dont feel the price is equal to the benefit, dont attend. Personally I feel its right in line with the others.
