The deadline for payment of Team Entry Fees is Friday, December 11th. Each team's Entry Fee should be paid as soon as possible/practical after submitting their entry form, and is refundable up until Friday, April 23rd. After this date, no refunds will be given.
Rocket Fee: $500
The Rocket Fee pays for any costs that are not directly related to the number of people at the event. Each team's Rocket Fee is due on or before Friday, April 23rd. Payment after this date will be considered "late", and the fee will increase to $700.
