Re: Student 'contributions' / fees to attend regionals

Our team has dues at the beginning of the year (last year around $50 or so). I imagine that it's negotiable if someone on the team has financial hardship, but that's not my or my teammate's business so I wouldn't know. Volunteering at fundraising events is also a requirement, but our teammates just volunteer anyway; I don't think anyone who's made the cash commitment to the team that shows up to team meetings decides volunteering isn't worth it.

Our team charges teammates for the hotel room and I think part of the bus fee for the away regional (Minnesota for the near future). This isn't to make a profit or anything, but rather since the team organises the rooms together to keep costs down. The same hotel fees apply for Atlanta, but instead of busing team members that wish to go find their own transportation (mostly by plane). Our home regional's just down the street, so that's never a concern.
