Team 1124 does not have a team fee. We do a lot of local fundraising, and have recently been active in getting local businesses to sponsor us in addition to our corporate sponsors.

Students are required to pay all travel fees (airfare, hotels, food, etc.), but this only occurs when we go to the Championships. The Connecticut Regional is two towns over, so we go back home every night, and the school covers our busing.

We've talked about having a small fee at the beginning of the year to cover the cost of the team t-shirt, since everyone ends up buying one later in the year, and the money gets collected either way. Our sweatshirts, hats, and additional t-shirts are optional, thus would not be included in the team fee that has been discussed.
