I love CA FIRST, but I think when it comes to Regional Events, the teams here get hosed, especially in 2014. 6 events for 230+ teams is rough.
Having 5 events in Ontario for 115 teams makes it a lot easier for Ontario teams to get into multiple events. 1241 was able to get into 4 Ontario regionals this year!
