Thus far, no one has spent a nickel on the Open except for me....... 
We have offered $30/game plus all meals and drinks, and we are offering double rooms in the $75 range for umpires......... 
That's not the gossip, that's not the rumor, that's not what's through the grapevine... 
THAT's the FACT! 
I know because I am doing the paying.
