This is an interesting point, if true. Hopefully the Kingdom Seneschal can
answer this question: is the kingdom dictating that NRT *will* happen, and
happen as a true regional-sponsored (as opposed to sole group-sponsored)
event, or is it dictating that *if* NRT happens that it will be a true regional-
sponsored event?
I'm not too thrilled about the former; I can certainly live with the latter. (And
indeed, I'm one of those relatively-newcomers who innocently thought the
"Regional" in the name meant it was regionally-sponsored, not individually-
sponsored...)
