James is on target here. Another big expense he did not include is the cost of utilities and this will vary depending on weather, and of course will be greater for the two day tournaments.

Also we CHOOSE to hire the County EMT to have an ambulance and a response team present at all times when we host the regional tournament.

Finally, believe it or not, wrestling tournaments are real hard on buildings and especially the plumbing and bathroom fixtures. Depending on the age of the building repair costs are something that have to be expected. Paper towel & soap dispensers as well as trash cans seem to come in for more than their fair share of abuse--especially after the consolation quarter and semi-final rounds wink
