Is it worth it? I guess that depends on how much you like the "play time," how good your team is at fund raising, how willing team members are to pay more money "out of pocket" and various other factors. Also, by having the championship somewhere other than WDW, you tend to get team members more interested in the competition, and less for a "fun vacation." That can certainly be argued to be a good thing.
Well of coarse it would be 15K for a big team like his... For 45 (which is a smaller team) it of coarse would be less... I don't know... You're right I guess... Money is a factor for most teams...
