I do believe that some regionals may have separate awards that they give that might cover registration or part of it but those would be specific to regionals.

If anyone out there knows something that I don't please add to the conversation.
I apologize, I did in fact mis-remember. I delved back through some old emails from that time, and yes, we did still have to pay that fee. I don't know where I remember it from, but I could swear that at some point, the championship fee was waived for the winner of some award or another. As others have said though, it could have been a third party of some sort.
