There is a CD white paper called "How to IRI" under my name.

Andy Baker and I wrote it to help teams plan and organize an off season event.

It includes several lists to go through, including info for a budget.

In general, FIRST field rental is free, but you have to pay the shipping to an from your event. And you have to have insurance to cover it. You have to provide game pieces, and you are responsible if anything breaks.

It would be a good idea to recruit a FIRST FTA (Technical Advisor) to assist with the field and scoring systems. You should at least cover their travel expenses.
