For many regional tournaments if the schools kept 100% of the gate they would not cover the costs associated with even a one day tournament.

A regional tournament, especially of the two day variety, is often an economic boost to our communities but that does not translate into less pressure on the school budget or an increase in the school budget.

Concession profits in most schools are kept by the organization(s) that man them, unlike kids tournaments where those who man them are also kids club members.

Don't want to get into a p***ing match about this; just advanced one theory based on current events as to why hosts may not yet be lined up.
