Instead of entry fee's, why not make "premium" on the winnings. If a competition was going to award 1500 for GC anyway, call that the KCBS GC, the GC for a non KCBS team would be 1250. This doesn't take away from the host of the show as far as lsoing money at entry fee's and it doesn't take away from the GC if a KCBS team wins, but rather, it bespeaks a value to having the KCBS affiliation. The darn GC, non-KCBS team could have joined for 50 bucks and made 250 extra, too bad, maybe next time they will join. I would do this down through all the cash prizes...meaning a discounted win amount for non-KCBS teams. This cost's nothing to the host or to the KCBS, and is easy to solve once scores are in. This would only occur at KCBS sanctioned events of course. Scott
