Before you had around 60 teams go for a second play (I don't know how many may have played more than 2, but lets assume none did for a minute), which means 77 teams did not go for a second play.
Not accounting for the fact that FIRST Canada has said that the $7500 fee is approximation, and could be lower to account for exchange rates this fall, a $33,500 increase divided by 137 Ontario teams would work out to an increase of $244 per team.
