In response to the Districts comment, there has been A LOT of speculation about it. The earliest I've heard of Ontario possibly going district is the 2015 FRC Season.

In response to the low number of teams, I know there aren't a lot in our area. We have about 8 in the area (200 KM away or less) with a few rookie teams looking to start up this year. We'll be pushing for more teams, but we're counting on our friends in Southern Ontario and Quebec to make the EVER SO LONG JOURNEY (about 3-4hrs/300-400 KM) up to North Bay to compete at our inaugural event!

I'm especially happy for the two teams in Timmins, ON who, last year, traveled two 16hr round-trips to get to their two Regionals last year. We'll be cutting their travel time and expenses in half.

After hearing the district rumor as well, as well as many other parts of the US, looks like we have to do a Canada regional soon, before not being able to at all.
