That regimen allows for plenty of tournament play and an A average as well. "I just want my time at home to be normal," she says. Tracy has earned well in excess of $300,000 in the past year, so her $1-a-week allowance has been suspended. But she still must ask her mother for clothes money. Her older sister and two older...
