I'm out of District 12 in Stephenville. They charge $25.00 for the ASA registration. A lot of the UIC's charge $25-$35 to be part of their group. Which is why I choose to stay outside their group.
There are a lot of groups that call and ask if I'm available. I don't see any reason to pay the entry charge, then pay a game fee, and also watch them charge the associations or tournament director for a scheduling fee. I know a lot of work is involved getting a lot of individuals together for games but, hey, if you don't like the responsibility, there's no reason to charge the blues more. I call for the fun of it and enjoyment of the game. I don't need to support someone who does it for a second job.
