For those concerned about financial implications, here is my team's accounting with FIRST - simply copied from my TIMS account. Again, I can only show you the numbers, I can't tell you why they are the way they are.
Notes: Only the PNW Champs and St. Louis were over-night stays....Sorry about rotten formatting.
