[SBU Board] Entry Fee signs for tournaments - revised

[JC Chupack]

Yeah, I tried to figure out some way to put "more masterpoints, supports
D19's Grass Roots fund" on the sign, but it felt crowded, so I erred toward
leaving it off since the most pertinent information (the extra dollar) is
accounted for in the entry fee roster for the sign.  *What's the thoughts
from others? * I have no idea how much people do or don't understand (or
care) about having a definition of Grass Roots..I'm not even sure people
actually connect that with the reason for the extra dollar until it's
pointed out to them.  The problem we had at the KO was that players saw the
sign, saw the note about Grass Roots day, but didn't realize/notice that
Friday was Grass Roots day (it's typically Saturday, but we put it on
Friday for the KO b/c of the event formats), so they were giving the
directors grief about the extra dollar, thinking it was a mistake that they
were being billed on Friday for it (or thinking "the sign says $10").

Re: the sign switch task and needing the separate Grass Roots sign -- we
discussed it and the above while you were in the room, but maybe you missed
it in crosstalk?
