What Can Make the Trip Expensive?

A tournament trip is more than the entry fee. Your team's total can change significantly based on distance, number of hotel nights, room count, number of travelers and whether the team drives or flies.

  • Tournament or registration fee
  • Hotel rooms and hotel taxes
  • Gas, airfare or rental transportation
  • Food for players and traveling adults
  • Parking and tolls
  • Gate, ticket or event-related expenses when applicable
  • Miscellaneous and contingency expenses

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the tournament entry fee the total cost?

No. Entry is only one component. Hotel, transportation, food and other trip expenses can materially change the total.

Why don't you show one "average" price?

Event pricing can vary by age division, location, event level and year. A single average can be misleading, so the calculator lets you use the actual numbers for your event.

Can I compare driving and flying?

Yes. Use the Drive vs. Fly calculator or the comparison built into the Budget Builder.
