The Hoosier Cup and Shootout is funded through the Hoosier Cup Random Drawing.  The drawing is held at each tournament as a side game.  Entry is $10.

Name(s) are drawn at random and those names win between $50 - $100 cash.  The remaining pool is applied to the expense of the Hoosier Cup.  You also receive Hoosier Cup points for entering the drawing, but it is 100% optional.  

 

The 2018 Hoosier Cup and the Shootout cost almost $3000.  Only 1/2 was raised through the drawing, the balance was paid by the tournament director.
