Re: Quebec FIRST
1) Toronto Regional
2) Veteran Team Mentors
These are the two largest factors torwards explosive growth in teams. Typically new teams don't want to drive less than 3 hours to a regional, and its even better right in their backyard. Getting the word out along with Vets who help along the way always helps. Same thing happened in Rochester when the Fingerlakes Regional was created. X-cats, Division by Zero and a few few others were really it for the region up till that point.
On that note: I really don't think we will see much growth of teams in Europe until there is a european regional. I'm waiting till that point before I propose FIRST to the Department of Defense Schooling.
