The kid should enjoy playing the game no matter the cost. I could may love playing with his buddies on the 1200 team that plays lesser tournaments and wins a few games. Another kid may hate playing on the 1600 team that plays every "Elite" tournament but gets smoked every time. I think the keyboard bandits chasing the $4000 college scholarships at a $1600 a year clip should take a chill pill. Just my 2 cents.
