Don't just assume that hosting an FTC Championship is an easy thing to do. Even at a bare minimum level.
I'm not saying it's easy. Not at all.

I was responding to his comment about finding organizations to host tournaments, to which I made a blanket statement, and I'll revise to reflect Illinois' situation. My apologies.
