Curious does anybody know the fees you are paying to play in the teams 8 ball weekly league in your hometown to qualify for Las Vegas? I heard it was $55 each year then someone said roughly 30-40% of the weekly goes to the person running the area BCA leagues. I asked should the numbers all be shown for everyone to see and can they just charge whatever they want? For many years I've seen a teams win the season and get $2000 and the playoffs and get $1000 which is a total of $3000/5 players so roughly $600 each but they had to pay $250 all season with all the weeks. I've won it before and I'm like is this even worth playing? Is there a normal fee league operators should be taking?

BCA league operator can structure it however they want. In our league, the operator keeps 10%. The rest goes to pay the expenses for the teams going to Vegas. We typically have 7 teams with ~7 players per team. We pay $15 per night whether we play or not. We play 20 weeks over 6 months with a playoff at the end of the session... Then we repeat for the 2nd half of the year. That way, 2 teams get an all expense paid trip.
This seems like a better setup than what we have in our area. Over a decade ago I think we figured the league operator was making about $25,000-$30,000 for himself per year just doing that. He then wouldn't book the room or airfare just give money to the winning team.
