I have a new appreciation this year of how challenging it is to run a regional, let alone plan one. You could not possibly imagine all the details. This would be a major undertaking that would need FIRST sanctioning and there is a process to be followed.

So keep organizing your ideas, funding sources (think in the $50,000 range) and after the Championship, we can help you get your ideas heard.
I know that the timing is bad, however there is still a lot to do. And starting now doesn't do any harm except that FIRST doesn't have time at the moment.
And I am encouraging everyone, to send me information and help.

Anyway I am already waiting for FIRST to have time for my ideas.
