What Nick wrote.

Basically, students who contributed get to go. The ideal would be objective measurements of 'contribution', such as attendance, work on the team (including non-technical work), behavior, grades, etc. If you have not been measuring these things*, then it becomes more subjective, and you should have mentors involved.

There also may be a cost to travel - our students have to contribute to the cost of travel, but how much depends on team budget. It can be well over $400 to attend St Louis. Students who can't afford it can (privately) ask for financial assistance.

If there's enough money, everyone can travel. But if they misbehave, their parents must come pick them up - even if it's a plane ride away....
