Hello Christoph,

I am following your thread from Cologne. It looks like, that you need some help. Shall I contact the "Deutsche Messe AG", which is the organization who performs the CEBIT. Another good address will be the "Heinz Nixdorf Museumsforum".

More ideas I write to your mail firsteurope[at]gmail[dot]com.

Best regards
Carsten

Hi Denman,

thanks for the idea of the "team in a box". Sounds great to me, and I already contacted them.

Also I am in contact with some sponsors, but I am still looking for interested people who would like to start some teams over there.

Please contact me if you are interested in helping!

If you mean to get a Regional going for next year, it sure does. We got 6 times GB, one Poland, and a few German, but we'd probably have to fill up with some American teams.

there is some good stuff about London, like flights and such, but Hotels are REALLY expensive. The last time I've been there I paid around 20 pound a night in a youth hospital with 17 other people in the room in the smallest bed I've ever seen.

So London is probably a good location, but keep thinking about Frankfurt, Berlin, Bruessel, or Cologne.

For anyone who doesn't know what he is talking about: Hotels/Room for the teams to stay at.

I think your endeavor is a noble one, and I certainly shall not hinder it, and I will offer what help I can give.
But before a regional, I think you should start teams in Germany, and the rest of Europe and start an off-season competition. The off-season can give you a smaller idea of what the work that goes into a regional is, and it can also show some indication of how many teams would be interested in coming to Europe from the US. The biggest problem with depending on US involvement would be rules. After 9/11, many counties either made stricter rules about long distance, particularly out of country, field trips, or even out-right banned them. Some of these have been lifted in the years after the tragedy, but many have not. So many teams would not even have the option of coming. And few that did attend would attend in full force. I know how much a trip to Europe costs, and it is no small fee.
So, in short, build a local support base and try not to depend on out of country travel to support your regional. Getting area teams is your first priority.

You are certainly right, it is hard, even impossible for many teams to attend a regional a little bit off the map. However under 1000 teams they will be one which doesn't have those limits.

On the other hand I think it would be nice to spice up all the rookie teams with some more advanced teams.

I'll post later this week on how many teams we have coming from European countries.
So thanks for the input I'll keep it in mind.
