Details?
it was nice meeting you too.
So what is so special about this match to warrant an almost fivefold entry fee above what I perceive (in my admittedly limited experience) to be a reasonable match fee. $90?!?!?! (vs the typical $20) Please tell me that includes something special like ammo included, a lunch, "free"() Tee shirt, cash prizes and/or free pistols for the winners, etc. ?
I'm sure the above sounds snarky but I'm serious. That seems hella expensive for a standard match to me.
Here is the link in case anyone else has the same question I did.

Sign up may start at 7 but not shooting. 6 of us are going from ACC - shooting Friday.Does this match really start at 7am?
$90 for a 10 stage level 2 match, in either IDPA or USPSA is not at the high end, and absolutely not going to be a cash cow for the club. The last USPSA level 2 I was at was $125 I think and if they came out ahead at the end it was McDonalds money not steak dinner money.
I think the best way to understand the costs is to volunteer to work a level two match (either sport) and that way you start to get a feel for everything that has to be bought/catered/fixed + everything that you need a back up for and how much staff you need to build the match the week before / run the match / clean up / deal with all the background stuff shooters never think of (at least I didn't before seeing some of it).
Whether or not you are somebody that would enjoy the larger event / trophies / more developed stages / meeting folks from farther away / higher than normal level of competition / etc. , is about you. Some folks get addicted and other folks do not.
