The only thing I find a little odd is how when dealing with FIRST in Michigan $5,000 registers my team for a KOP and 2 Michigan District events. However when dealing with FIRST $5,000 only covers a State Championship.

I've heard from the powers-at-be that the astronomical cost had something to do with Unions - something along the lines that all the audio/video people were from one union that signed a contract with FIRST.

I agree though, transparency is always a good thing - especially with non-profits.
