Re: Cost of attending wrap party
It's not just about the cost of the party as you can see from the flyer on the FIRST site. They are also including event support and administration fees into this $90. The Championship event as a whole is very expensive to put together. Some of this cost is covered by the team registration fee, some by sponsors, and some is passed on to teams through the packages to cover basic administration fees. I have been involved in the development of the team packages this year and this is really the best we could do. Understand that FIRST is trying to give us the best event possible as well as a low cost to teams. It's not easy to find a happy middle.
