Membership per Year - $200 per team (2011 - 2012). This fee covers admistration costs at the State level as well as materials, resources, trophies, medals, and other expenses for the tournament.
Transportation and food costs vary according to the distance a school must travel for a tournament. The idea is that all tournaments be local and that schools need not travel more than 30 miles for a tournament.
The rest of the costs are very dependent on the event. Events that require building something do involve more expenses; however, at the elementary level these costs are nominal. Most materials for practicing for events can be found in schools, garages, and the internet. A ROUGH estimate of the supplies needed for one team would be no more than $200 NOT including the membership per year. If a second team comes from a school, the $200 would cover most of this team as well.
