It is regarding our hotel and transportation fees.
Basically what happened is we had a deal with the school where they would front the money with the stipulation the students would fund raise and pay the money back after competition. But what happened was the kids went to the principal directly, who had already gave the money for registration, so to him this made it look like financially we were worse off then we really were so he pulled the plug on the previously set agreement.
**Update**
Thank you all for your input on how to fix the situation, there were definitely things said that going forward the team can use and in the future prevent this from happening.
But at this time luckily thanks to one of our few sponsors came through and after some pleading, the only other mentor on the team works for them so that helped, they graciously came through and helped us with the money so that we can still go to competition this week.
