Israeli websites are not to be judged

[Noam Of Doom]

I would like to tell you about something that really annoyed me.
last night, at 12 am and something, our mentor and chairman of FIRST Israel, told me he recieved an Email saying that all of the 12 Israeli teams websites shall not be included in the Website competition.
as a webmaster i feel very disappointed, since i have worked hard & long hours for the past month on our team's website. i have written in pure HTML code, and designed the graphics myself with Photoshop and The GIMP, and not just any generated PHP Nuke (or so) website, to prove my skills.
what disturbed me even more, is that they decided not to include us in the competition, the same day of the Website registration dedline.
Does anyone know the reason for this?
Does it seem right to you?

just editing - I am told that also graphics of the robot made in Inventor shall
not be judged
