My mom said that if I did go, I'd be pretty lucky because we don't have enough money to go after buying Christmas presents...They had better hold another before my birthday, or boost the entry age for the next one... Maybe they could make there be age divisions?
You don't have to pay to go. You only have to pay if you're going to battle.
no you have to pay to compete in the u.s. regionals there are side tournaments that cost nothing
