NASA Grants

I've got some confusion about the 2012 NASA grants; hopefully someone here can shed some light.

Under Regional Challenge Grants, the site says

during the first year of a new Regional Competition event, a number of "veteran team" sponsorships will also be awarded. These sponsorships are for one year only, and are awarded to veteran teams that are electing to attend the new event. By involving veteran FRC teams in the new events, it is expected that the overall level of the competition, quality of the experience, transfer of knowledge and experience to rookie teams, and demonstration of values associated with the FRC program will be increased.

(emphasis mine)

It goes on to say

For the competition season, Regional Challenge Grants will be available for the following events:
Capitol Regional (Washington DC) up to 10 sponsorships
North Carolina (Raleigh, NC) up to 20 sponsorships
Utah (Salt Lake City, UT) up to 20 sponsorships
Florida (Miami, FL) up to 20 sponsorships

None of these four events are in their first year; additionally, no first-year events show up on the list when a veteran team applies for the grant.

It seems clear to me in the first passage that NASA intends to support the first-year events by assisting veteran teams to participate. However, in the grant itself, these events are not supported. Why the discrepancy?
