hwangoSo, I placed 2nd out of 14 players in Sunday's tournament, losing only 2 of my 7 games. Now I need to figure out if it's worth trying to get to Brooklyn next weekend to play in the rather larger tournament they're running there. Entry fee is an alarming $30, but prizes are as follows:
1st: $2000
2nd: $1200
3rd - 4th: $800
5th - 8th: $400
9th - 16th: $250
17th - 32nd: $100
So if I can figure out how to get to and from Brooklyn for $70 or less, I can break even or end up ahead as long as I place in the top 32. No, I have no idea how many people they'll actually get. I'm considering this more than I was before, but I'm still not sure it's really worth the trouble and expense.

It's expensive by comparison with Fung Wah but on a par with Amtrak, and you'll get to NYC in comfort and ease.
Another option to investigate would be to look into last-minute airline fares. You can generally get to NYC round-trip for $100 or less.
