Greens Fee's

If I'm reading your post correctly, $25 for a green fee with an entry fee of $30 to $40 means only $5-15 per entrant is going into the tourney prize fund. That's outrageous!
At the most, green fees should be $5 for every $25 in entry fee money. Such as a $10 green fee for a $50-60 entry fee.
Sounds like the only ones making a killing on this touney are the people running it!
I wouldn't play!
What kind of add on money is there?

Don't be so modest, the US Dollar is weak right now. Canadian and US dollars are almost the same, 1USD = 1.06CAD.

Is it a handicapped tourney with different entry depending on your handicap, and the same green fee for everyone? If so, that might make more sense.
If you play as a low handicap and therefore are paying little in entry, maybe the green fees are right but the entry should be higher.
P.s. I think the Cdn. dollar will be worth more than the US dollar withing 6 months.

It's starting to look like it. On the upside, US exporters will have a party.
Bingo!
I know of a tournament that is $20 entry and $20 green fee. I would play again! The reason is, $2000 added. a FAT auction, fun people, good food and action. That's at Sharkey's in Alexandria,LA. Open Diamond 7ft's, Simonis cloth and red circle cue balls.
Had a blast out there!

What's sad is that I used to go to Canado often considering I live in upstate New York, and I used to get at least 1.5 exchange. Would go to the casino with 100 american and get 156 canadian.

It is HIGH. The costs for running a tournament are high but a green fee of $25 seems high, especially if it is a local or regional tournament..
It also depends on if it is a bar table (with coins or not).
I disklike tournaments which have all of the the FEES: Tour Fee, a Registration Fee, Entry Fee and a virtual mandatory stay over night fee (hotel). Guess I'm getting spoiled with the bi-monthly tournament at Buffalo's even though I have been unable to get a whiff at the good money.

it sounds pretty high, our local weekly tournament pays out either 100% if the tournament is tiny or they just keep a bit for table time (something like 8 bucks) if a fair number of people are playing... the rest goes in the pot. When the money is too small the owner sweetens the pot with certificates for free table time. He's a generous dude.
