But it's probably for the support staff, coach, etc...
I'm confused indeed. Does this mean that the AGA considers paying for travel expenses of support staff and coaches to be a higher priority than paying for the travel expenses of the players?
Not sure, they had both last time. And if players aren't getting it, what else could it be?

Also, 8000 dollars is not realistic.
This seems odd though, wouldn't they have let the players know that there was a chance that some of the cost would be offset?
The board wasn't willing to have the AGA guarantee the funds this time around (which should be recorded in the minutes of some meeting). I'm not sure how it is planned to distribute the money, but I will be astonished and unhappy if it only goes for support staff.
That which can be destroyed by the truth should be.

Keep in mind that the $8000 is some seemingly-arbitrary goal, not the amount that the AGA has raised, or even actually needs to cover the costs. I can't imagine how they can raise that amount of money; without AGA support it seems as if the players will be largely paying for themselves.
