Yes, I guess you can also interpret that as "As long as I still get to see my friends / top teams / etc, I don't mind if the cost goes up a little bit." That is how I ranked the factors, but I did so knowing that there is some reasonable limit to how much costs will change, having some knowledge of what FIRST is planning or typically does. In this case, I know they are looking for some large American city. I am OK with the cost variability of travelling to large American cities. I answered the question keeping that in mind.

My answer might have been different if FIRST had said, say "To give you what you want, in one giant world championship, we will need to move the event to some other country".
