Let me rephrase. Would you rather pay $50 to win $1000 or $30 to win $500?

To me its neither of those, i do tournaments for the fun not for the money. I have my full time job for the money i do tournaments because i enjoy bowling and to test my skills up against some of the best bowlers in the region. As long as it is a well ran tournament I will bowl it.
I think bowlers enjoy the organized competition..with a $30 entry you can compete without spending much...most bowlers understand where they fit in competitively--(saying that for most bowlers,its just a hobby--),but they want an inexpensive opportunity for the comraderie,and competition....you still have the availability of brackets for the high roller types
I bowl in tournaments for the competition. Yes, I do like the prize fund at the end and without spending a lot, but most of all it is getting with other bowlers that I have not seen in years. I have been sports all of my life and the rush of testing my skills againts someone else is very exciting. Even when I do not bowl werll I take something back with me to work on. I try to attend all the TNBA tournaments. So to answer your question I would bowl in both depending on how far I will have to travel from Indpls.
Im gonna say it matters on the location. HOw much can i possibly make after all my expenses. I love to bowl and have been doing it since i was 5. Competition is what drives most people to do anything, its a characteristic we all have. The most of us bowling the amature tourneys have full time jobs to make our money so money is not the only reason. I enjoy competing. Its just the enviroment i grew up in, as a family growing up we competed at everything. Hanging out with other bowlers is always a factor thats why when you travel to a tournament most of the time you are looking to travel with people, also it helps when you are splitting some travel costs.
