Makes sense, really: we only have 3 teams, 2 of them still a bit inexperienced. .. and i imagine it would be difficult to bring north american teams down here. Sponsors, volunteers, referees & co. are scarce...
If we could perhaps get 15 or more rookie teams started from our area it would help...but that's one tough task to complete within a few months hehehe...

but hey...2006 looks bright...and I guarantee we'll have ours by 2008.

Don't worry the FingerLakes Regional here in Rochester was formed in less than the 2 year timeperiod it normally needs and so far we have formed another 8-12 rookie teams in this time period and acquired necessary sponsors for the Regional.

It really dependson the local business and FIRST participants to drive it. It will definitely be more realistic for 2006 ince you have the proper time to prepare.

Good Luck!
