The harder you make it for more teams to attend CMP the less that will attend.
I have no idea how teams like 359 are able to travel so much. They came here to Virginia one year and thats about as far east (from Hawaii) as you can get without going to Long Island or Israel.

I have talked with them about it and their big secret is that they fundraise 365 days a year. They work very hard to be able to travel and I'm glad they do.
