Re: Merchandise Question
How do you justify the cost of buttons, to teams who order theirs online. Our two regionals have a total of 93 teams combined (with 1 repeating team, go 772!), and I've read that you should account for about 10 buttons/team. Roughly 1000 buttons costs about $200.

In the grand scheme of things it isn't much money, but $200 is $200.

EDIT: Does anyone have suggestions for an online button site, preferably in Canada? This website seems decent.
