Re: Registration 2014
 

Michigan has added a 15th district event in Lansing at Mason High School. If registration numbers hold steady there will be 28 slots for a 3rd district event for Michigan teams.

Re: Registration 2014
 

Does anyone have any stats/data yet in regards to 3rd District registration (which opened yesterday)?

Re: Registration 2014
 

By my quick count, there are 9 teams registered for a 3rd event in the PNW district.

Re: Registration 2014
 

New England:
Event Name Registered/Open/Withheld
Groton 35/0/5
Hartford 37/0/3
Southington 30/0/10
Northeastern 39/0/1
WPI 40/0/0
Pine Tree 36/0/4
Granite State 37/0/3
UNH 38/0/2
Rhode Island 35/0/5
327 slots taken up, 33 Withheld

164 Teams - I think there are 3 that are only registered for one event, so if my math is right, I think that means only 2 teams have registered & been confirmed for 3 events so far. Some of this may be until more of the 33 withheld waitlist spots have been opened up.

Re: Registration 2014
 

Right now it looks like two MAR teams have signed up for a third district (223 and 1279) in addition to the four teams signed up for a regional (11, 555, 2016, 2234) and the three teams registered for champs (103, 341, 365)

Re: Registration 2014
 

The NEFIRST site was showing slightly different numbers as of the post at 12:45 yesterday.

164 teams registered in New England
2 teams signed up for a single event
333 slots used by registered or waitlisted teams

333 - (162*2 + 2*1) = 7 teams that signed up for a 3rd event

As Kim suggests the difference is probably due to waitlist teams. So lets bound the answer at between 2 and 7.

Also I've only noticed a single New England representative attending a Regional event this year, WPI/Gompei (190) but there may be others.

Re: Registration 2014
 

Based on the data on usfirst.org, I see 67 teams signed up for 1 district, 12 signed up for 3, and 1 signed up for 4. Yes, somehow there's a team signed up for 4 districts. It's 2046. See spreadsheet for full details.

Re: Registration 2014
 

Thanks for the spreadsheet but it only covers up to team 4855 and not this year's rookie teams.

Re: Registration 2014
 

Hm, looks like it only includes teams that competed in 2013 (so no rookies or returning teams). Something to do with FIRST's numbering system for urls. I'll have to see how to work it out.

Re: Registration 2014
 

A bunch of teams cleared the FiM districts earlier.
533 slots are now spoken for, and 67 are still to be assigned there (potentially 38 third events, give or take a little).


District Tally

• FIM = 281 teams / 15 district events / 0 teams listed for 3rd event; 29 teams listed for single events
• NE = 165 teams / 9 district events / 2 teams listed for 3rd event; 4 teams listed for single events
• PNW = 153 teams / 10 district events / 12 teams listed for 3rd event; 3 teams listed for single events
• MAR = 111 teams / 6 district events / 2 teams listed for 3rd event; 2 teams listed for single events

Re: Registration 2014
 

Here's a tally of how many teams are doing multiple events this year.
It includes Districts and Regionals, but not District Championships or the World Championship. This was when the team count was 2770 (currently it's at 2778).

• 4 events: 4 teams (.1%)
• 3 events: 69 teams (2.5%)
• 2 events: 1229 (44.4%)
• 1 events: 1468 (53.0%)

Re: Registration 2014
 

Who are the teams doing 4 events?

Re: Registration 2014
 

Three of them are 216, 244, and 288. No idea who the fourth team is.

Re: Registration 2014
 

I think the fourth is a Canadian team...can't remember the team number though

Re: Registration 2014
 

With that said, I took to research, and it is 1241, who are also registered for Championship.

Re: Registration 2014
 

Funnily enough I'll be seeing all of them in person at at least one of their regionals.

Re: Registration 2014
 

Can someone clear this up for us. 449 is currently registered for North Carolina and Greater DC. (We also signed up on the wait list for Chesapeake) however The Blue Alliance has us going to NC, DC, and Chesapeake. Did we actually get into Chesapeake?

Re: Registration 2014
 

Always go to the official source. Not the Blue Alliance.
You're not listed.

Re: Registration 2014
 

You can check your individual team record for where you're registered, too:

Re: Registration 2014
 

These are the % of single-event teams at each of the Regional events.
World CMP not included, but District teams playing at Regional events are counted.
So, for instance, at the Israel Regional 98% of the teams will compete only there, while 2% (1 team from California) will play somewhere else as well.

Re: Registration 2014
 

Just some odd statistics I hadn't gotten around to publishing:

• 36 resurrected veteran teams, best recovery rate in the past 10 years (didn't play last year, 1 hasn't played in 5 years)
• 418 rookie teams (although 1 is Non-Competition)
• 12 new "veteran" teams or spinoffs
• 8 Forfeit Teams Non-Competition (get the kit but won't compete at any regular season event)
• 215 lost veteran teams (although FRC is posting the highest retention rate ever)
• ~10% increase in teams
• 18 countries are participating

Re: Registration 2014
 

(Above emphasis mine)
In a conversation with our Regional Director (NC) I learned that we almost lost 10 teams this year, but 7 of those were convinced to continue. The reason cited was not economic conditions, but rather the state's treatment of teachers (key mentors of those teams choosing to leave the state or leave the teaching profession). I'm wondering if any other states are experiencing similar problems.

Re: Registration 2014
 

The teacher strike in Ontario is the most obvious example of teacher/government relationships affecting FRC teams, but the general story of school systems in the country not respecting FIRST even at the same level as non-football sports (wrestling, volleyball) has a very big effect on the potential of FIRST teams. While I don't know if it's a topic for discussion here or not, the problems with running a program like FIRST at its various levels and stages isn't as often money as it is people.

Re: Registration 2014
 

Big corrections on Tuesday and again on Wednesday have brought the total teams from a high of 2797 on December 10 down to 2733 today.

Re: Registration 2014
 

Mark, do you know what the highest team number was before this drop-off?

Also, what is the status of all those teams with numbers 2014xxxx?

Thanks for keeping up with all these stats for us.

Re: Registration 2014
 

The highest rookie number has kept slowly climbing through the dropoff, so some of those 2014XXX teams are still picking their events and converting to an officially registered full team. P.S. Only 10 rookie teams have been added since registration closed - roughly 7% of the 2014XXX teams still listed (and other rookies have dropped out).

The highest team number was 5348 before the purge and 5351 right after.

Is it possible to have a list of the lost veteran teams? Where would I find it?

Re: Registration 2014
 

I haven't double checked it, but this is pretty accurate.

Re: Registration 2014
 

Down to 2726 teams today.

We seem to be following a pattern what with last years' 2524 teams.
The year before it was 2339, so that breaks the pattern.

27 26 - 25 24 - 23 39

Re: Registration 2014
 

Does anyone know what happened to team 759 from the UK?

They competed every year from 2002-2013 at the NYC regional.

http://www.usfirst.org/whats-going-o...rogramCode=FRC

Re: Registration 2014
 

They have a website with contact information on it, why don't you contact them? I'm sure they have a specific reason why.

Re: Registration 2014
 

Team registration settled out at 2,710 teams this year playing 4230 times plus more District cmp and World cmp to add-in.

• 2722 Regional slots taken
• 482 MI District slots filled
• 343 NE District slots accounted for
• 329 PNW District slots used or being used
• 234 MAR District slots occupied

Championship registration is now about half full from the winners of previous weeks.
Of course, the four district regions won't choose their allotment for another couple of weeks.

The District Championships are already showing a few teams qualified to register there.

Re: Registration 2014
 

I'm not in direct contact with them, but a mentor from our team says they decided to stop competing from lack of interest.

Re: Registration 2014
 

Yep, looks like interest and cost. It does appear that they still do competitive robotics though, so thats good!

Re: Registration 2014
 

It's good to know that they still exist in some form. It's a shame they stopped their FRC team this year, it would have been nice to have concentrated our small British contingent in NYC this year (now we're all on our own).

Unfortunately the reality is that the cost (in money, time and inconvenience) for non-North American teams is incredibly high.
