Re: What constitutes a sponsor?

Now, if you happened to get $3,499 worth of robot items donated, then you're still going to have to count that in the cost accounting, leaving you with one more dollar.

Section 5.3.4.4 is your friend on this.
I thought if the provider is listed as a sponsor, the item doesn't count towards the total...?

Is there any case in which the item doesn't count towards your total?
