Believe me turning these tournaments into money making events is the last thing that I would want. I simply offered that up as an explanation as to why some clubs continue to run the traditional format. The reason I say this is some clubs aren't as fortunate as others to have a huge number of kids, and they need money to buy new singlets, some clubs pay rent to use the high school practice room, get new stuff for the kids. A lof of the clubs money comes from running their own tournament. Fortunatly the club from where I came from (Abilene) didn't have these issues. But they still run a traditional tournament because they are able to move 400 kids through an entire tournament and be done by 3 p.m.
