Does your team charge a fee to join?

When we started out, we charged ~$75 plus travel costs because we didn't have a lot of sponsors. Since then, we have unfortunately had to up costs to $175 plus travel. We have actually gained sponsors since then, but our school cut all of our funding, so now the team have to pay for registration and competition fees in addition to the school's pay-to-play fee of $100. It really bothers me that we have to give the school around $4000 just to exist when they do absolutely nothing for us - our coach doesn't even get a stipend. It really sucks.
