They just spread the same amount of people thinner every year).
Thats not entirly true, Erin, acctually its wrong because according to an email sent to me last monday (feb 21) I will most likely be one of the emcee's at the NJ Regional, and that i would be getting information about some web-based training for my postion

and this is from the FIRST VIMS website :
