Re: Registration 2010
I'd guess that it's financial. Our funds are down this year, and from what others have said it's tough to get sponsors. We are doing all we can (why yes, I'd be happy to take your spare change, Thanks!) to keep our team moving forward.

We talked about registering for Atlanta, but passed since we didn't think we could raise the money to go. Others may have been more optimistic about raising the funds.

I'd like to see FIRST open up the wait list for teams now, the difference between a $300 airline ticket on a 30+ day reservation vs a $1000 ticket 10 days in advance is a huge cost difference for teams.
