I understand that assigned competitions are not an optional event.  I  understand that on the appropriate year, if my team qualifies for a National Level Competition, that it is part of my responsibility to the team to attend these Nationals.  I understand that I am required to pay all fees/costs associated with competitions and these fees are non refundable.
