CMU Quidditch Club Budget

We require that each member who wishes to be official (as described in our club constitution) pay an annual membership fee of $20.00. We currently have 22 members; we project that in the 2013-2014 season we will increase membership to 30 people.

Each team member must purchase (for $10 each) a CMU Quidditch t-shirt to wear at matches, and we sell the rest of our stock of t-shirts to the campus community as well as to the quidditch community at large (for $15 each).

From various food/bake sales we will hold during the school year, and from selling refreshments at matches hosted at CMU.

CARNEGIE CUP (TENTATIVELY SCHEDULED FOR 10/5/13): From 50 Carnegie Cup t-shirts to be sold at our tournament for $12 each.

CARNEGIE CUP (TENTATIVELY SCHEDULED FOR 10/5/13): We will charge teams registering for our tournament a fee of $35 to help cover costs of the event. We plan to host 9 teams, plus ourselves.

Membership contributions towards competition IQA individual membership dues. $20 x 14 competition member

For a new vinyl poster with our official team logo on it, to be brought to matches and the Activities Fairs.

The club owns 7 of the IQA official competition brooms. We would like to purchase another 7 that will stay with the team so that the club will own a total of 14 broomsticks, the number required to play a game of Quidditch. We budgeted for brooms for this fiscal year but due to the new organization funding cap, we could not afford to purchase any.

Gave you this last year

We use 6 hoops to play quidditch at our practices - with time, they become in need of repair/replacement, for which we must purchase PVC piping and glue.

The team needs 4 dodgeballs and 2 volleyballs to practice with. As the balls are used in game play, they deteriorate, and need replaced about once every 12 to 16 months. We will purchase these six game balls.

For a 12-person tent that will stay with the team, to be used at tournaments to rest between games and keep our bags safe, and for when we take the Fence.

We are required to pay $360.45 to the IQA each year in order to remain an official ranked team and be able to take part in official tournaments.

Appeal granted for the flat fee of $150

IQA individual memberships for 14 competition team members ($20 covered by revenue). Appeal granted.

This is for gas for travel to individual matches that are not yet planned.

No contingency

This is for $80.00 per room per night for 4 rooms and 2 nights. MARC is a two-day tournament. In Novemeber 2012 it was in Roanoke, VA; next year's location is TBA. Attendance at this tournament is required for all teams in the Mid-Atlantic region.

This is how much we spent on gas for the Mid-Atlantic Regional Cup in November 2012.

This is for $95.00 per car for Friday through Sunday; we require 3 rental cars to take a full team.

This is for $40.00 per car for 3 cars for 1 day.

This is for $80.00 per room per night for 4 rooms and 1 night. This tournament is 1 day in Buffalo, NY, and we plan to drive up the night before.

Lower priority

Buffalo, NY is six hours away, and we spent $180.00 on gas for MARC which was also six hours away in Roanoke, VA. So we estimate the gas costs will be similar.

This is for $70.00 per car for 3 cars for a Friday-Saturday rental.

This is for gas for 3 cars; the Ohio Cup takes place in Columbus, OH.

This is for $40.00 per car for 3 cars and 1 day.

Capped at $40

All of CMU Quidditch's revenues are currently undirected slush. Allocating 964.50 to cover their share of travel and 1100 to cover their share of food, they require no additional revenue. We also decided to cut the Carnegie Cup costs, as we were already giving the team a sizeable increase, and we felt the request was too high for a brand new event. Feel free to appeal with more detailed plans if you think the event can actually be succesful. We weren't entirely sure if the person preparing this budget was still going to be around to hold the event in FY14.
