Re: Worlds Cost

I'd lowball at the $400-$500 range as far as a per-person, and expect higher.

Food: Most folks will probably be able to deal with about $40-$50/day for three meals and possibly a snack. This could be brought down in a few ways, or up in a few ways. Figure 5 days for $200-$250.

Hotel: At 4 to a room, for 4 nights, the average rate for a hotel is generally $100-$120/night. Figure everybody pays 1 night(ish). Note that this could easily be higher... or lower if you're a savvy shopper. It would also go down if you were to leave St. Louis on Saturday after the Finale (or the final round).

The rest? Each person's share of the bus fees, and "incidentals" that tend to crop up. (OK, souvenirs and extra food...)
