The Thunderbirds event was $40 until a few days before the tryout, then it jumped to $55. Not sure if that changes things.

Dear Anonymous @ 6:23pm,
Thanks for the update. The original amount ($55) was copied from the AUDL Tryout List webpage, but I see from the event page that the original fee = $40. Back to the chart drawing board...
