Michigan stats so far...

2014: 217 Teams total thus far, including...

• 32 Rookies
• 1 Resurrected Veteran
• 1 New Veteran

20 Teams missing that were active in 2013 - 519, 1941, 2000, 2137, 2851, 3421, 3640, 3706, 4294, 4389, 4478, 4507, 4743, 4755, 4811, 4834, 4838, 4839, 4840, 4855. I expect a few of those will pop up as wait lists get sorted out and whatnot.

Edited to add California stats, because I guess we have a rivalry or something.

Re: Registration 2014
 

Lets see where the numbers lie at kickoff/regionals. That's when it counts!

Re: Registration 2014
 

Indeed! I look forward to finding out. I would also be intirested in seeing numbers on growth in both states. I can't hep but be competitive about it... :D

Re: Registration 2014
 

[quote=Racer26;1293128]Reasons CMP needs more capacity than 400.


Adding more divisions. Going to 6 or 8 divisions adds time to Einstein, which is already much longer than it should be. BUT, doing this might make Einstein feel less tedious. The downside is that you need 50-100% MORE volunteers than CMP already needs. Additionally, the space required for the fields to run 8 separate divisions starts to get really hard to find, and noise pollution from adjacent fields could be a problem as well.



I think it would be a cool idea to have a 5th division exclusively for Rookies. It could be fore first and second year teams. Rookie teams can choose to compete in either regular or rookie division. This will add additional spots while at the same time crowing "FRC Rookie Champions".

Re: Registration 2014
 

Does sound like a strong top tier despite not having 1114 or 2056! It'll be interesting to see who's strong coming out of the gate there in Week 1... Competing with/against 610 down at GSR week 1 in 2013, they launched out of the starting gate... having clearly succeeded in leaving substantial tune/practice time!

Forgive me for being oblivious... but does this mean 188's back?!

Re: Registration 2014
 

They are most definitely back!

Re: Registration 2014
 

2300 teams are now registered.
That's almost 11% above last year at this same time.
Not quite as good as the 19% that last year had over the year before.

Re: Registration 2014
 

Is there a legend for the vertical lines? Are they are first regional/second regional/championship deadlines?

Re: Registration 2014
 

They are the various deadlines (2nd District/2nd Regional/Unrestricted/Kickoff), but I forgot to check and adjust them for this year.
I won't be able to verify and correct them until tomorrow morning, but I'll post a corrected version and/or a note when I do.

Re: Registration 2014
 

Central Illinois Regional was full to initial capacity at 12:02 EST. It started with 12 open spots. We're lucky I was in at 12:01. Honestly, this process should be looked at so that it's not quite so dependent on who has the luckier internet connection.

Re: Registration 2014
 

Same thing happened for quite a few (13) Regionals.
We got into Troy, but it was full when I looked at 12:03.

314 teams show as registering in the few minutes after noon.
I'm sure that many more went to waitlist.

Re: Registration 2014
 

I have three teams from DC now on the waitlist at Troy.

Mark, you do have an easy way to make a list now of full regionals and remaining capacity? It's a real slog to go through the events in my area page looking for space.

Re: Registration 2014
 

Well it only took about 5 minutes for Palmetto to fill its 22 open slots.

Re: Registration 2014
 

Crossroads was full when I tried to register at 12:05 although there were only 6 open spots when I looked last week.
