You are suggesting that we pay an additional $2500 plus the cost of travel and hotel and if we qualify for regionals we simply say no and end our season?

Possible, but not as easy a sell as you imply.

I also just read your other post, and it is surprising to me that you don't think $2500 is a prohibitive amount to raise on top of our operating costs. It is as if you ignored the fact too that we are talking about $4000 of added cost just to participate plus the added cost of travel and hotels. So yes, it is prohibitive. You may also be interested to know that this would be our 3rd season meaning that it is the first year that our rookie grant money expires. We made a sustainable fundraising plan for an annual budget of roughly $2500. That would have been enough to play at one Toronto regional with the gracious support of the TDSB. If we qualified for St. Louis, we would have had to earn our way there.
