Here's the blog entry you were looking for (note that at the time it didn't include all acceptees from weeks 6 & 7):

Re: Registration 2013
 
More team dropouts/noshows has brought the total number of teams this season down to:
2528

278 registered for Championship, but many of the winners from this past weekend aren't yet registered.

31 teams registered for MAR championship

55 teams registered for FiM championship


This is a very busy day at FIRST Finance, because qualifying teams are registering for all three upcoming championship events.

Is there any data you have that would suggest this is a high year for in-season team attrition? It feels high.

I imagine the waitlist this year has a particular level of "magic" involved. Is it likely it's case-by-case basis? I know 829 could be considered a "high priority" waitlist team seeing as it hasn't attended championships since 2010 and was a regional finalist two weeks ago.

We also registered for the waitlist the first second we were allowed too so I wouldn't yet read too much into it until we see what other teams get invites.

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.

Pulled off to attend or just removed from the list?

Pulled off to attend Championships.

Mark McLeod 10-04-2013 11:27
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.

They're planning for 400 teams.

PVCpirate 11-04-2013 17:52
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.

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.

PayneTrain 11-04-2013 18:09
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.

Up to 47 can be added after Week 7 events for merit-based slots alone. If FIRST wants to take teams off the waitlist up to 400 even in a short amount of time, I can guarantee you teams will find a way.

Atlanta. Pits were in only one conference hall, of 3 possible ones, in any given year. And some of those halls could easily hold bleachers if needed, so if you really took over the space you could put 8 fields and 8 divisional pits in 3 conference halls and the Dome. Can't do that in St. Louis.

That would probably be the biggest undertaking in Atlanta since the Olympics. You would take over the city of Atlanta.

Or Orlando, where the largest convention center in the world is. You'd have to drop the 'domed stadium' aspect of it though.

Even though that would be AMAZING, I wouldnt like the OCCC because it wouldnt have the "big time feel" like a major stadium does. Plus, the stadium seating, more often than not, has better seating than bleachers. Orlando would be a really good city for CMP though; tons of things to do, tons of hotels, and tons of restaurants. But I think Orlando is out of the question because FIRST tried Orlando for a few years at Epcot and they left for probably a good reason.

George R. Brown Convention Center? The Lone Star Regional took up only one hall out of the several it has...or possibly Reliant Stadium/Center...

What the location of events always comes down to, is the Venue. Now while I was a tike back then Epcot happened, I can tell you that the event just out grew the venue (among the other issues I know arose). It really wasn't an issue with the city, but there wasn't a good venue.

2003 was NOT a good year to go to Championships. The pits were in the Astrodome, down all the ramps to the floor. The fields were 1/4 mile away in the Reliant, as the crow flies, but more like 1 mile as the robot cart rolls, up the ramps. Not to mention security around the venue generated quite a few lines for bag searches and the like.

I speak from experience.

Abhishek R 11-04-2013 20:57
Re: Registration 2013
 
Well I know that, the Astrodome year sucked. I've heard enough stories about the nightmares of back then. Probably not the best idea to hold the Championships right after the Rodeo...

I still believe that the GRB would work.

No way.

Atlanta can easily very handle it. GWCC hall 'C' can handle the 400 teams, plus all the other stuff like FLL, FTC, and vendors, scholarship row, etc, plus you have the dome for then fields. And there is still GWCC hall 'B' and hall 'A' if you really needed to expand.

And tons of hotel space. Sporting events like SEC championships, multiple college games, Braves, conventions, etc are here all the time, often simultaneously, and there are plenty of accommodations.

Transportation wise it could be argued that Atlanta is the 'center of the traveling US'. According to Airports Council International, Atlanta Hartsfield is the busiest airport in the world. Many people that would need to get to the geographical center of the US would have to travel through Atlanta to get there. 95 million or roughly 250K passengers a day go through the airport.

I never said it couldnt handle it. I meant it as an accomplishment. Everything that has happened in Atlanta, like you listed, and yet they would all pretty much be dwarfed in size by an 8 Field/Pit FIRST Championship. The population of Atlanta would probably grow by about 100,000 people for about a week. Oh, and you add into it the jrFLL, FLL, and FTC stuff that goes on at the same time. That maybe jumps it up to 125,000-150,000 in population growth. lol That's just an amazing thing to think about.

Interesting. I think the limiting factor then becomes time, since you would have to fit in 4 more eliminations series (World quarterfinals). Not saying it can't be done, it's just adding more matches to an already tight schedule.

You'd have to extend Division eliminations to 4 or 5 PM and start Einstein at 7 or 8.

Whatever the magic that was used, it has smiled kindly upon 422, and we have been accepted off the waitlist to attend championship! Everyone on the team is ecstatic. After losing to the eventual winners in the quarterfinals at both regionals we attended, (4v5 and 6v3), the team was still content to know that we had produced the highest quality robot in team history. This news is huge for team morale, and attending championship will hopefully push us over the edge into being an east coast powerhouse. See you all there!

As a percentage of final teams it's about a third more than normal team attrition.
From the highest point of registration to the final tally by Championship:
  • 2013: 40 teams dropped out (1.6%)
  • 2012: 26 teams dropped out (1.1%)
  • 2011: 20 teams dropped out (1.0%)

How many teams attended 1, 2, 3, and (Texas Torque) regionals? Also how many teams attended 2 districts. How many attended 3? MSC, MAR and Champs are easy enough to find myself.

I'm looking to find out total registration cost across the board.

Nemo 19-05-2013 20:39
Re: Registration 2013
 
As long as I have the numbers handy, here is the one that probably interests me the most:

Total events attended, including district, regional, regional championship, and world championship:

Code:
Events    Teams    %Teams
  1      1421    56.6%
  2        700    27.9%
  3        298    11.9%
  4        69      2.8%
  5        21      0.8%
It would be cool to know the total number of events including state championships and off-season events. But that would be a little more difficult to compile, and one would have to wait until later in the year to know who's going to the various events.

Here's a spreadsheet with Ed Law's data parsed into number of events and which type of event. I listed the number of teams attending 2 and 3 district events previously; did you want that broken down according to another criteria?

I pulled from the FIRST database at noon today and got slightly different numbers, probably because of late team dropouts. Doesn't matter in the magnitude of the $ expended though.

Of the 2524 teams registered:
  • Regional-only teams
    • 4 Regionals: 1
    • 3 Regionals: 38
    • 2 Regionals: 632
    • 1 Regional: 1541
  • Crossover teams (Districts playing at Regionals-these 21 teams are also included in the MAR/MI totals)
    • 2 Regionals: 4
    • 1 Regional: 17
  • MI teams
    • 3 Districts: 32
    • 2 Districts: 169
    • 1 District: 2
  • MAR teams
    • 3 Districts: 3
    • 2 Districts: 103
    • 1 District: 3
Additional events:
  • MAR-CMP: 49 (50 are listed but one was a no-show)
  • MI-CMP: 64
  • World Championship: 400
-----------------------------------

Overall numbers worked out to be:
  • 6 events: 1
  • 5 events: 20
  • 4 events: 69
  • 3 events: 299
  • 2 events: 702
  • 1 event: 1433

Not sure why you guys are assuming all teams have been to five events or fewer; there's one team that has been to six: 3314 (3 districts, 1 regional, MAR CMP, CMP CMP).

Of the 2524 teams registered:
  • Regional-only teams
    • 4 Regionals: 1
    • 3 Regionals: 38
    • 2 Regionals: 632
    • 1 Regionals: 1541
  • Crossover teams (Districts playing at Regionals-these 21 teams are also included in the MAR/MI totals)
    • 2 Regionals: 4
    • 1 Regional: 17
  • MI teams
    • 3 Districts: 32
    • 2 Districts: 169
    • 1 District: 2
  • MAR teams
    • 3 Districts: 3
    • 2 Districts: 103
    • 1 District: 3
Additional events:
  • MAR-CMP: 49 (50 are listed but one was a no-show)
  • MI-CMP: 64
  • World Championship: 400
-----------------------------------

Overall numbers worked out to be:
  • 6 events: 1
  • 5 events: 20
  • 4 events: 69
  • 3 events: 299
  • 2 events: 702
  • 1 event: 1433
Can you split up the regional and district events into rookie/veteran, and the 3 district teams into FiM/MAR?

3 district teams are already split up between FiM and MAR on that breakout.

Regional-only
  • 323 rookies
  • 1889 veterans
MI
  • 28 rookies
  • 175 veterans
MAR
  • 9 rookies
  • 100 veterans
I get $14,869,000 in FRC team registration fees.
That doesn't take into account any FIRST supplied grants or discounts for teams in need or some other form of cost sharing.

Actually, it's 57% this year. :p

Hopefully that number will keep going down.

Oops, I scanned too quickly and didn't realize that "1 regional" could also include going to Championships... still illustrative when you compare it to some of the discussions here.

If they're paying for it though, why not go? Seems wasteful.

I'd like to know where those teams are from. Some teams in Michigan have over a 7 hour drive to get to their second event. Could still be a cost issue.

Re: Registration 2013
 
Distance doesn't seem to be an issue at play here for the single district teams.
They are all in or near major cities.

Detroit area:
  • Team 2676 Lincoln Park, MI
  • Team 3706 Ecorse, MI
Philadelphia area
  • Team 709 Bryn Mawt, PA
  • Team 4373 Jenkintown, PA
and
  • Team 1617 Newark, NJ
