Re: FIRST Competition Entry Fee Increases for 2005

Frankly, I don't think the 40 person teams out there are going to be the ones that will have problems with this. Again, this fee increase will hit the smaller, poorer teams the hardest, while the bigger teams with big sponsors won't have many problems with it. My biggest problem with the increase is that it's rather like a regressive tax. A team that goes to just one regional for the whole season sees a 20% increase in cost. A team that goes to 3 regionals sees a less than 10% increase in costs. So... Big teams with lots of money don't have much trouble with the increase, while small struggling teams have to struggle even more. Like I've said, this particular fee structure will just make it harder to get and keep rookie teams, and will make it harder to spread the program. At some point, teams and sponsors will start looking at other programs like BEST as a better bang for the buck.
