I would concur with much of what you have stated. One of my biggest frustrations is League Directors more intent on making a buck, than running a good program. I was working a National Qaulifier tourney and we went 1 man the whole tournament. I ended up working the Mens Championship by myself. That was game 20 for the weekend (3 days). Best line of I had from a player, between games, he asks "What are you getting a game this weekend, about $75? I didnt tell him what I was getting, but he did realize that it was sufficiently lower than that. Players think we are getting paid huge amounts. Tourney Directors and League Directors only seem interested in making the most they can.
I worked 20 games that weekend and was told I had to bring my own food and beverage.
Fortunately next year I will not be working nearly as much as I did this one.
