School? Grades? Why did they decide to schedule a youth event during the school year? Anyone from the East coast who wishes to compete will have to miss at least 3 days of school if not more for travel etc. This is why my kids will not be there. Not to mention the fact that most kids up north are not sailing this time of year. I think you have a better chance for more participants if it is in the summer.

Also, this years event is not the qualifier for the ISAF youth Worlds. It is a qualifier for the SL 16 Gold Cup event in France.
