It was a cheap hive buy in, I forget how much, and I give the Tuesday and Friday post a vote to help build the account and offset the ticket price a bit. I don't know if he uses the votes for buying tickets, but I am pretty sure the hive buy in does not cover it all. This was the second year so I am not sure on any of it any more, I ask if I owe anything and he lets me know, but we have won a few small wins that generally get put back to ticket purchases, and some winnings dispersed to the participants.

It gives me something to leave non serious comments on when I feel like it.
