Re: FIRST Competition Entry Fee Increases for 2005

FIRST ran a deficit this year and no organization, including non-profit, should be running that way. The best senario is a break even budget. I believe that FIRST needes this money to cover expenses and allow for growth.

As for the cost of Championship going up, you must realize that a big portion of the early years was subsudized by Disney. They could not continue with their level of "sponsership" so we went to Houston and now Altlanta. These venues cost money.

Also not mentioned is the drayage costs, fields and development. I read earlier in someones post the cost of these items. BTB does not have all of these things to deal with. For the Wonderland event this week the cost to ship the field is $6,000.00 CDN. For Championships they had to ship 5 fields plus spare parts to Atlanta and then back to New Hampshire. These things are not cheap. You also need to take into account the cost to design and build the 5 fields and spare parts.
