I doubt it. There are many international competitions. All that is 
required is some disclaimer (required in the USA anyway) that the 
rules etc are subject to the laws of the state of California or 
whatever. There could be some issues because Philips is a European 
company, I guess.

More likely it is just coming out of a certain USA division's budget 
and the division isn't "thinking globally".
