Same here. We (and one fellow local team) are just over 100 miles from Houston and almost 200 miles from Dallas. My team travels with 20 - 25 students. Travel and hotel winds up running us right at $4500.00 (this does not include mentor hotel rooms). Not sure what we would do about doubling the travel costs...other side of the coin is that we would get to participate in two events...
