I don't know if this have been considered, I am sure it has, but I want to bring it up anyway. Have you gone to the FIRST website and found all the teams who attended the Southern California Regional? If they do not have a team website, have you looked at their school website and call their numbers to find out how to contact their FIRST team? How about looking at that list of teams and PM/e-mail members of this forum from those teams?

Contacting team is a very difficult task. It tooks us a while to contact all the Northern California teams about Cal Games. It took so much work that we have a registration group just for it. And thanks to Phyllis Schmit of team 1351 and her daughter Stephanie, we were able to contact a lot of teams because of #1 old contacts from previous Cal Games, WRRF workshops and other previous WRRF contacts, #2 through the FIRST website and contacting schools about this, #3 asking every team we are able to contact to pass on contact info for other teams they know, and #4 having students contact other students because they tend to get connected through Chief Delphi and AIM during competitions.

Posting on Chief Delphi is not nearly enough to get all the attention you need.

We struggled for a long time for this because of unreliable contacts and people neglecting their e-mails. Took us almost 3-4 months to rebuilt our contact list, and even then it's not perfect (We are missing most of the rookie teams). It's a lot of work, and I honestly don't know how much you can do with a little more than a week away.

Good luck with this, I hope it works out for you guys.
