They made the final. Wonder why they choose to drop out? They are certainly good enough to be competitive in WSYL.
$5,000 to participate per kid once travel and tourney fees are included.
It's not quite that bad, but it is a lot...
For a family of four, flights (Southwest from BWI to DEN) cost about $2200 and hotel about $700. Rental car probably $300 for four days. Budget, what, $100 per day for food if you try to go on the cheap. So that's about $3600 for a family of four. If you go parent/player that cuts the flight and food in about half.
Tournament fee $300 per player.
So if you take your whole family of four it's about $4000 total, less if you go player/parent. Which is more than most of us pay for annual club tuition.
