Over the last 40 years I have on and off offered a discounted EF for folks traveling a distance and carpooling to the tournament. I never got many takers – usually 0 – and they were on days when there there were no conflicts. I am curious if others are still offering carpool discounts and what has been their experiences with doing them.
I did once have a player who was upset that others got a discount and they didn’t. – but the locals generally liked it since they had a chance to play someone else than their usual opponents.
