Since the Utah regional has existed the majority of teams in Southern ID have been playing there, not at one of the events the PNW district will be replacing while those in Northern ID have typically been attending the events that the PNW district is replacing. So while the invitation is open to all teams in ID we only expect it to make sense for those in Northern ID to participate.
FIRST's long term goal would be for the PNW district to include all of ID and MT as well as AK but in the short term teams are allowed to make the choice that suits them best. The PNW district does not intend to exclude the S. ID teams.
Edit: ID teams and where they played in 2013 season.
