Re: Entry Fee Increase---hurting teams

Don I think you almost got it the way I think it should be;
$4000.00 - Initial Regional
Promotes growth with lower initial cost
Allows teams to "Catch the FIRST Fever"

$6000.00 - Additional Regionals <--------------------I would make this 6K
You raise extra money for additional competitions
Practice time is costly

$6000.00 - Championships
It's the "CHAMPIONSHIPS"
BIGGER - MORE OF EVERYTHING
FIRST has always said it the most expensive event to hold

Extra regionals are a luxury. The initial regional should be the lowest on the list (imho)

But we should have all seen this coming when first announced, I will admit I really didn't do the math , I saw an additional $1000, when I should have seen a 20% increase. Next year we need to really make some noises about the pricing structure. This year, smaller budgets.
