The WDA membership came out and supported the Regional. 40 people entered the Blind Draw Friday and 46 entered Saturday. That raised $172 for the Youth program. There were 18 people in the "die hard" late blind draw Saturday night.
Another plus that came out of the Regional is there's a strong possibility a new league team was formed from new players during the Regional.
The only downside to the Regional was that only 3 players outside of Wichita showed up to qualify for the National playoffs. The WDA spent $2,200 to host the event. $1,100 for ADO entries, $1,000 for money-added blind draws and $100 to the Legion to help pay for the cost of opening the dart hall for 2 days.
As this was a BYOB event, the participants had substantially lower expenses even compared to the Legion's lowest in town drink prices. Perhaps if there are future BYOB events (Spring Fling), the WDA could charge a $1 or $2 admission and donate that to the Legion to help pay for utilities and air conditioning.

Yea Merlin.....The Legion is the perfect venue for this type of event and it would be a shame for anything to come between the special relationship we have there.. A special thanks to Commander Paul, etal for hosting a basically non revenue earning event.
The WDA did pony up mucho bucks for the event but looks like it was money well spent. Both qualifers to the National were "locals" (Congrat's to Dan Z and Leanna C) and the additional prize monies on the blind draws pretty much stayed in town.
Any non profit organization should try to return "value" to customers (WDA membership). I think that was accomplished.
