Not counting travel fees, which are basically feeding my car gas so it can take me across lame Ohio, I'm at about 700 dollars or so.

1st singles 200 dollars
2nd Doubles 80 dollars
1st singles 150 dollars
3rd doubles 50 dollars.

and the rest is cumulative between tournaments I've one minors amounts in, or money matches.

Counting travel fees, car repair, and two controllers since my first tournament, like 20 dollars.

I figure as long as winnings cover travel costs, its more than worth it.

I'm at roughly 8,000-10,000 just by taking winnings/stipends/etc off the top of my head. But i've spent a decent amount traveling.

It helps that there are a lot of socal tournaments. And a lot of socal players.
lol hugs.

oh yea, do mlg pros get like a seperate paycheck? i remember on killaor's vid, he got like $300 or something just for being part of mlg.



and on topic, i've made about $2000 (yay for baysians splitting!). random high school tournaments pay so much =)

I won a $30 gift card at a tournament that allowed me to buy Twilight Princess.

I want my money back.

I'm definitely not in the positive. Despite playing competitively for 2 years, I barely have tourney experience.

So, lets see... I'm in the red $300 or so. (Very few money matches)

Of course, by the time I got some skill, parent johns for Pound 3. Not that I'd be in the positive or anything.

But hey, Brawl. I'm looking forward to it. And maybe I can at least break even.

I made around 1,000$ through money matches over the years, I don't go to tourneys so it's just good'o local money match for me.

On a serious note, though: I hope there wouldn't be any Wifi money matches from SmashBoard, it's just bad business, I just thought that I should mention this now.

I've only made $200: $100 in Raleigh, NC and $50 in Greensboro and again in Browns Summit. Luckily I've never lost any money...

I've won $450 total.

However, I've driven to Chicago twice to do those (I live near Detroit). Also, I once flew to LA (vacation/tourney going on so why not?) Overall I've broken even.....
