[SBU Board] 2018 Suntan Sectional Attendance Stats

[Eric Sieg]

On additional piece of info to add on:

EBC had 7.5 tables on Saturday and SBC had 4.5. Some of these are people 
that would normally play in a sectional if it was in a more central or 
north location.

While we don't want to completely ignore the southern people, the poor 
attendance from that crowd is going to make southern sectionals harder 
to make profitable. While Stan Roberts was pretty upset about so many 
Bothell sectionals last year, I wonder if there is something we can do 
(revisit profit sharing idea?) to host them in places that are going to 
draw more people without drawing the ire of club owners.
