NSA NSA Series Entry increase $300/ $600

[default]

What is the justification for DOUBLING the Series entry fee? Just curious.

Last year the entry fee was $300; this season it is $600! What exactly are the girls going to get for the extra money?

I can understand an increase; but DOUBLE!! Are you kidding??

Site says all passes and parking are included-- this was included last year at a bargin rate of $300.

Have the guaranteed games increased?

Hosting cities make a lot of money on these events; the increase seems to be pure simple GREED.

These are youth teams, working very hard to raise money for their seasons. In addition, families spend a lot of money traveling. I just don't think it is justified.

WOW, What a crock. We need to contact NSA. Complaining on this chat site wont get it. I suggest everybody contact their local rep or John and ask what is up.

From what I thought was they eliminated admission charges for all the families.

Tig,

You are not correct when you say that everything was included for $300 last year. There was an admission charge per person that was somewhere around $25. So if you take the extra $300 and divide it by 12 girls on a team that is an extra $25 a family. So this year is actually cheaper than last year if more than one parent/sibling from each family is attending.

I hope you're right
but, that isn't really what it says on the site

Are you saying- they won't be charging admission at the tourney?

OK I AM GOOD ALSO :-[ :

The ?issue now is I have to collect basically an admission fee from my families to offset the 300 increase. Yes its a little cheaper but basically teams now are paying admission for their families in the entry ?fee. The only problem is it gives the ones that like to complain(not saying I have any) another chance to do so. Oh well it will save a little money for each family in the long run and thats a good thing.

Unfortunately untrue. We were charged $12 per adult for the weekend.

I think that this thread was refering to NSA Nationals, not the state tournament.
