And what do you think happens on the non-profit side coffers for part of the club fees you pay? They go to tournaments. If I gander to guess which club you are from, those funds would go from the non-profit club coffers to the B'more Lax Co or to the Aloha events for-profit side. There is nothing unique to your club or wrong about that. All events are for-profit things. You are correct that it is all about profit margin. 80 teams at $2,500 per on fields rented from your buddies at MIAA schools that your club feeds, then insurance then refs pay with donuts and coffee isn't a shabby paycheck for a weekend event. I don't find a fault in these guys charging or making the money, but really, if you believe there is anything philantropic going in inside your own club den you are sadly mistaken.
