Tim Wilson, athletic director with the city of Florence, said right now they are looking at charging $5 admission for individuals over 12 years of age and giving free admission to those 12 and under.
The two-day event was supposed to be held in December, but due to the weather, the tournament was moved to June, Wilson said.
Wilson said they hope to create more exposure for sports tourism and to bring business to the hospitality industry in Florence through the tournament.
