The costs to put in your tournament budget
- Team or athlete charge: enter only the amount your family actually owes.
- Lodging: nightly rate × nights × rooms, plus taxes, resort fees and required hotel-program costs.
- Transportation: airfare or driving, bags, rental car, fuel, parking, tolls and airport transfers.
- Food: travelers × travel days × a realistic daily food amount.
- Spectators: admission, passes or event tickets when they are not included.
- Family extras: siblings, entertainment, merchandise, laundry and an emergency buffer.
Important: a team-level registration fee is not automatically a family expense. Use your club's actual assessment or divide a shared cost only when that is how your team bills families.
