This is a serious question for those Professors who are PTOs as well as running Leagues. meganium45 has more than once spoken of the work PTOs have to put in and it is not small.
What I want to know is would you do the work if you weren't paid?
This is the situation as we find it in the UK at the moment, we are being asked to pick up Leagues, Tourneys, City Challenges and Regionals (States) and possibly judge at Nationals too.. BUT there is no reward for us in doing so. Indeed judging nationals will cost some of us the chance to play for a trip to the US and a place at worlds...
With venues being costly here and with no financial support we are having to try to bear the cost of the venue and cover it with the door money. Not an easy thing to do when the OP provider wants small CCs (cheaper on the promos perhaps?). Add to that producing flyers, posters and more.
So if you're a PTO would you do all the work if there was no reward. And please be honest here, glib answers are not what I am looking for.. thanks.
