Tournament Interest in NY?

Hello R/Battlebots! Quick question for all of you on the East Coast, how much interest would there be in an insect-class (beetle or lighter) annual tournament in New York? There are not many competitions that far north (closest is Pennsylvania), so a few builders and myself are looking to organize a tournament. However, we wanted to first see how many people would think they might be interested in such a thing? For a general idea, the competition would most likely be in Orange County, NY.
