Is the "NHC Tour" worth it?

[johnny pinwheel]

if you are going to play any of them it is. just because of the free plays. i don't know what the format is this year but membership usually gets you in the fla. derby, kentucky derby and travers card contests plus the BC one. of course the more you play the better your chances, so if you are thinking of playing one and paying .....you might as well join. everyone is right though. they don't help at all. if you lose track of whats happening..its a disaster. the "time" factor is almost as important or more important than paying the money.
