so if we have bigger turn outs shouldn't we be paying less for these events.As more people rock up price should drop atleast a little. For example buy 1 item for $20 buy ten of the same item you pay $15 each. kinda like bulk billing. Or deos this drop down to the fact that people earn more in sydney so why not charge them more.

On boulder comps isnt there a set number of problems that have to go up im sure that it is 90 set problems. does this change from state to state. As to time needed to run the comp boulder comps have time limits, so how is this affected.

the venues are generally bigger, only one venue is and thats sicg all others are of average size. this should in no way affect the price we pay for comps,we only use a certain area of the gym when the gym is bigger.

If these so called prices vary between the levels of comps should they not be dropped down lower for the kids entry. Atleast have a thing like:
1 Comp $50
2 Comps $45
3 Comps $40
this would i think encourage more parents to let kids enter the comps.
this would have to be an upfront fee i think maybe it wouldn't work.

I dont know me being on both sides on the ball here dont help much. As a competiter and a gym worker/manager sucks. I do see both sides but the problem is less people are coming to the comps esp children.so we must seel the sport better i think. As for the adults i think we should bring back the novice catagory this will draw some people in for sure.
