The Championship Event

Well from Canada I must point out that there IS a regional in Toronto, Canada, so that logic of US only events is void. As well there are now over 40 Canadian teams and I estimate 10 from other countries. When we joined FIRST its was US FIRST which sort of limited the view of the possible scale of the competition. Someone started a Canada FIRST and now we have to explain to everyone that we are the International Competition. It should stay the Championship Event, and in my opinion should change locations every year. Disney World was nice, but it got old, Houston is a refreshing change and I would like to see next years Championship in California or some where out west.

So call it the Championship Event, cause maybe someday a international team will win the "US National Event".
