Best email yet on this subject Jazz, especially your closing line - ROFL, best quip on BD for over 5 years!
As a qualified economist I can tell you that your theory holds water and your terminology is correct (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equilibrium_price). All the muppets complaining about price have been told season after season they can bid for Tours - but they don't. Adam is thus FULLY deserving of the leopardskin seat covers, waxing treatments and other Welsh Chav accessories he will spend his profit on. Stevie G made a very valid point that the UKUA should get some of the profit since the tournaments are run under their brand (and probably with some of their equipment). Either a flat £20 per team would seem a fair ballpark figure or you could look at the books and take 25% tax on profit (although this would cause admin hassle and encourage overstatement of costs).

Many people may object, but have any teams ever pulled out or not entered a tour event because of the price? If not then the market rate (I think it's called the equilibrium price - any economists out there?) has not been reached and tournament directors can quite happily increase their charges secure in the knowledge that their customers (ultimate teams) will still buy their product. I reckon that you would probably still fill £300+ open tour events. Sadly this would still not be enough to price those damned hippies out of the game! ;-) Jazz --------------------------------- New Yahoo! Mail is the ultimate force in competitive emailing.
