I have never been involved in hosting a tournament, so take these numbers w/ a grain of salt. I have to be missing something. Below is just a simple guess? I have no clue.

Wrestlers 1400
Fee $20.00
Total + $28,000.00

Adults 2000
Fee $6.00
Total + $12,000.00

Kids 300
Fee $3.00
Total + $900.00

Officials 25
Fee $175.00
Total - $4,375.00

Colliseum - $15,000.00

Total Income $21,525.00
Clubs 8
Profit / Club $2,690.63

What am I missing besides concession which brings more money to the clubs. I see I'm missing awards. Surely the concession would pay for the awards? I've never been to this tournament, and am guessing on the adults/children attendance, and someone said earlier that this tournament used to have 1400 wrestlers. Are there more officials? Are there less adults?

Couldn't you get more people into the colliseum which would bring more money? Couldn't you get more wrestlers into the colliseum which would bring more money? There has to be a reason why they don't have it at the Colliseum?

Could someone sharper than myself put a pencil to this that knows what it takes to run a tournament. I'm curious how the numbers would look.

Like Mr. Smith said, Wichita could make this a one of a kind tournament in Kansas.
