Re: Entry Fee Increase---hurting teams
the entrance fee isn't the problem for us.... microsoft have generously given us the entree fee for the last 3 years... however, the cost is going up every year. In 2 years we will probably not compete as each person will have to pay and extra £150 (~$270) for visa's . When your taking about 30 people with £150 each thats an extra £4500 pounds (which is more than the entry fee . . . . . (~$8,140)) so we will most likely not compete then (unless they host a regional here in europe / uk)
