Competition Fee Information

Competition fee is payable in Texas for each team participating in a Regional or State tournament. It will be calculated and charged during online team registration. Contact your regional director timely if you have payment questions or if you need an invoice for multiple teams.

Note: This is NOT the same payee as the membership payment. If your fees are paid by the school or the district, make sure that the P.O. is issued correctly.

If you are holding an approved purchase order (P.O.), please email a copy to info@txodyssey.org two weeks before your payment due date. This will allow your team to participate while waiting for the check to be issued.

2023-24 Competition Fees for on-site competitions:

$115 for each competitive team
$45 for each primary team

All 2024 Regional Competition fees are due by January 15, 2024. The State Competition fee is due by March 9, 2024.
