I believe they should be separate with any excess (we should be so lucky) team money held for next years entry fees. Separate and specific fund raising could be held to cover or at least defray personal travel expenses.

I would like to know how other (underfunded) teams have handled this in the past. Thanks for a reply and good luck in ATL.

I think of it this way:

Should teams cover travel? Yes. And if they could cover my college education that would be great as well.

If you are underfunded should you scrap the event due to not being able to cover travel? No.
