After submitting our registration, are we allowed to add more members?

Is the registration fee different depending on how many people are on the team?

This fee is both non-refundable and non-transferable to other teams and inclusive of food during the onsite event days. The payment details will be sent after registration. For individual sign ups: in case that there are not enough individual participants that we can group you in, that is only when we can refund your registration fee.
