How do investments work?
Our tournament program is simple. Each person pays "expenses" which are your trip cost plus tip. Monies over the "expenses" go towards tournament entries. The more you invest the more potential winnings you are entitled to. A second option is for the party to split the cost 6 even ways that way everyone has an equal share. Reach out to Capt. Austin for more info. 443 - 392-4926
