[BD] Fw: Tour 0 - The Price

[Steven Hunter]

I don't think that anyone is begrudging TD's from making a profit, but more 
that the price of a tour event has gone up 30 pounds per team in a year and 
there has been no indication of which part of the event has also gone up in 
price. If the fields have gone up in price or other things involved with the 
tournament have increased then i think that everyone would be quite happy to 
pay the money. I think that people need some reassurance that their extra 
money has gone somewhere useful and not just put an extra 1200 pounds (30 x 
40 teams) in the TD's pocket.
