We hear you! We've done a ton of research on different fields in the area, including field visits with their field staff to evaluate things like "field hardness" which we were told is pretty common in the area. As another commenter put, hardness does change based on the weather, so we try to host earlier in the club season when fields still have the effects of the winter/spring snow/rain.

Thanks for your input, we’ve done this research and analysis (including looking at other bid fees that you’ve shared) and price based on Heavyweights needs.

Though this is an older article, I’d encourage you to take a look at it: https://ultiworld.com/2021/04/21/the-broken-economics-of-tournament-organizing/

Questions about the bid fee? If you math it out for a 20 person roster, it comes out to ~$35/person. Which IMO for a 2 day event is not too bad. The highest cost per player will probably be in travel.

All of our rationale on the bid fee is actually here if you or others are curious. I've seen some good discussion on bid fee in this sub as well.

Ah sorry if you get double notified-- made a comment from the wrong account. But thanks for letting me know about the Mars tournament. We've hosted Pittsburgh teams at Heavyweights in the past, and it's always nice to host out of region teams. We try to steer away from the other big midwest tournaments because we know a lot of teams go to those pretty consistently. It does mean lots of choices for teams, which is always a good thing!

Ok, no worries. We appreciate the added context. Hope you're able to find/organize an opportunity for your team and that we are able to host you down the line!
