For my son, we've almost always forked over around $150 at the start of the year to get things started and made all the funds we needed by hosting the Christmas Cruncher (Bonavista tourney). Usually get about half the start up money back at the end of the year. So, if you can host a tournament, it can work out pretty well (raffles, silent auction, etc., 50/50, money stick, etc.)
