510 tech card and at least one additional person per tech card (on average)

(510*170) + (510*55) = $114,750

Number of spectators at $10 Friday,$20 Saturday, $20 Sunday.

(12 *10) + (50* 20) + (50 * 20) = $2120

Total Weekend Payout = $22,000

Total Weekend Payout = $22,000
Total Advertising Cost = $10,000

Of course many of the values are estimates, but I think a little advertising goes a long way. I never see ads any more for Division or National Events.
