Tournament Fees
« on: March 05, 2008, 05:11:13 AM »
I was on the PBA site  looking at non-member tournament fees. Regular PBA is 300, Senior PBA is 450. What the heck is up with that? Are they trying to keep non-members out? Something doesn't seem right there.

Those are some big numbers to get in a tourny and possibly not even cash...

That's about what the Entry-fees are for bowling Majors here in Europe.. Mind you it's an AMATEUR-Tour..
But it's not that different than normal.. ONE Entry on a regular Tour-stop in Europe will easily, meaning most often, cost you between 200-250 US dollars..

I'm pretty sure they count your $300 towards the $500 for the round of 64.  If you make it through, it's another $200 to continue.  You get it back in prize money (heck, they may even take it out of your check so you don't even have to give them any extra).

I think it's fine to charge non-members more.  What's the benefit of joining the PBA if non-members bowl for the same price?
