White it was promoted using the name Reyes del Aire, this sort of annual events had never been held outside Mexico City and the list of participants more resembled a usual cibernetico than a group of pure flyers. Since no named cibernetico was ever held in Mexico City this year, Puebla's tournament has been confirmed as the actual 2009 tournament.
