| I'd advocate $1.00, just for ease of math (yes, I know computers don't care).
You could also make it $1.50 (.50 for FRED overhead, .50 for a bookkeeper and .50 for you). |

Yeah, but you know how jumping to the next digit from .99 to 1.00 changes people's perceptions of things.
It's irrational, but true....

| I'm not sure it's as applicable in this case, but it's your site. | |

| Enh, just impose a 5% "tax" on the tournament organizers and be done with it. They're already paying a percentage for the cc processing and the fee will be invisible to the end user (fencer).

| Back when I ran the club at my college all those years ago, we didn't know fred was being used, and we had to rely on letters from tournament organizers. And as we were one of the least know clubs in South Carolina we didn't get too much information.
Then one day while googling myself (yeah I'm a dork wanna fight about it?) I found my results for the CHicken Challenge in 2004. Peet my life changed that day. I called everyone that I had ever fenced with and told them about the site. It promptly became my home page and I would spend hours reading about tournaments in clubs I never even knew existed.
Fred is the single best thing to happen for fencing as far as crappy little college teams are concerned. Thanks so much!
