I do have to question the money making side of this from Sam's Club. I'm sure they make money on it, because they charge all of the sponsors who are already in way deep with the clubs and Wal-mart stores. But, I really don't think there was much of a draw at any of the events that would satisfy a ROI on $1m if that's what they put out. It's not like it was picked up on ESPN or anything. I really hope it continues and I love the tournament style. Would like to see more like that, even if they were more regional than national to attract more teams unwilling or unable to travel great distances. Just wonder how long the sponsors will continue to make this profitable for Sam's.

Dude, it is advertising. A million bucks goes nowhere in a national campaign.
What's the cost of 1 superbowl ad these days?
