Thinking to play this tournament..but this one is too costly. And prizes are not that big... but mostly I will. Anyone else?

There is a one day Scholastic event associated which I am bringing my daughter to

smalugu--the entry fees here are relatively low (hence the lower prizes)--EF for high prize events are quite a bit more. I have been told this is a well run and fun event.
