Just to throw my two cents in here, I was a member of Kansas Kids way back in the mid 70's. I went to every tournament possible and also made it to the State Tournament 5 times undefeated. I can remember my mom sacrificing things just to pay for tournaments and to take me to all those different places all over the state back then. As far as I know, it was one of the most expensive sports way back then and I don't think that part has changed.
