There is no "sponsor" if you are talking about 'crafty'.  The problem there is
that I can't take off for the two weeks necessary to play in an event like the
WMCCC...  2 weeks is over 20% of our normal school term, and missing that many
classes is simply not reasonable...

The other issue is certainly one of 'expense'.  Travel to Europe is definitely
on the expensive side..
