Re: Registration 2013
 

Well according to the FIRST website, the wait list is split in two sections: veterans who attended championships last year, and veterans who did not attend championships last year (with these being higher priority).

So yeah if you are on a waitlist and didn't go to St. Louis last year, you're in the first group. But in that group, I think the order is just when people signed up.

I know my team 1071 got pulled off of the wait list. I'm hoping Mark can elaborate on the wait list more but teams are apparently getting pulled off.

Re: Registration 2013
 

Pulled off to attend or just removed from the list?

Pulled off to attend Championships.

Re: Registration 2013
 

318 teams now registered for CMP (now including teams from the waitlist).

What I know or deduce about the Championship waitlist isn't official, so take it with a bit of skepticism.
It's based on what has been officially published about it, what has been observed to happen in previous years, and what evidence we have so far for this season.

It's a simple first-on, first-off waitlist for Championship.
No other considerations.

It's somewhat ordered, because registration for it originally opened only for those teams who had not attended Championships in 2012.

So, the first bunch of teams admitted from the waitlist will not have been at CMP last year.
I doubt many teams who waited to register, or who registered when it opened up 3 weeks later to teams who did attend last year, will get in.

It's easy to check who got in off the waitlist.

320 teams as of 12:50 on 4/10/13 :)

I am trying to collect pictures of any robot that doesn't already appear on the FRC 2013 tracker app.
If you're reading this and want to check out the list, please share pics if you can...it helps everyone :)

Re: Registration 2013
 

What do you mean it's easy to check who got in on the waitlist?

Re: Registration 2013
 

Looks like 829 and 1071 got in through the wait list. Anyone else heard of other teams registering off the wait list so far?

Re: Registration 2013
 

Seems only three were added today (4/11) I wonder if registration will go back down to traditional numbers (340 - 350) this season.

217

Re: Registration 2013
 

They're planning for 400 teams.

Re: Registration 2013
 

I don't think they want 400 again, the general consensus I heard on CD was 100 teams per division was too many. That said, assuming 27 more FiM teams and 14 more MAR teams, we're at 366 right now, so already over 90 teams per division. I guess we'll see.

Re: Registration 2013
 

My guess is FIRST will push for 400. If they have the space to hold 100 teams per division in the pits/stands and push the match schedule they will do it to include more teams.

I would be concerned if a possible 44 teams won't find out until after this weekend. That would be quite the last minute scramble to arrange travel to St. Louis.

Re: Registration 2013
 

I think FIRST would push for at least 400 since there was a possibility (very small possibility that will not be met) that 425 teams could make it into CMP this year before they even hit the waitlist.

They are probably working on 100 teams/division right now and I would not be surprised if they ever added more teams and divisions if they moved it to a larger venue.

Tesla Division :D ?
