You could still have 2 other groups involved in the event to make it a
regional event (i think one group has to be the one carrying the financial
burden).  One group can 'sponsor' the event and at least 2 others can
help... one can support the feast and another group can help organize the
tournament (set up, waterbearers, supplying list poles, etc).. This way,
with 3 groups signed on it becomes a regional event...
