•The only money other than the $1 IFPA fee and $5 Stern Circuit Fee per player coming out of the total will be an operation fee. This tournament takes a great deal of time, effort and money to put on every year. Included in the operation fee is the cost of the trophies, prizes and other miscellaneous costs associated with running the tournament. 40% of the amount brought in will be used for these purposes.
