Granite State, UNH, and Northeastern District Events are all at initial capacity, with five hidden slots based on last year.

E.g., Traverse City is only at 21, Great Lakes Bay @ 25, Kettering @ 29

Could anyone possibly explain why these were zero'd out? Is it just to help with site traffic?

I'm just curious as to where this October 23rd date is coming from? According to this post from FIRST unrestricted regional registration opens on the 30th? Is this for your 3rd or 4th regional competition?

By my count we are missing 44 teams that competed in 2014 in Michigan. 21 of those were rookies in 2014. I'd guess that they are reserving spots for younger teams and yet-to-register 2015 rookies, and they expect that those areas will have a higher concentration of young teams than the others.

Tangent - At this point in time MI teams make up approximately 11.53% of all FRC teams.

It comes of the season calendar for one place. It is for the second regional. 10/30 is for 3rd & more.

Maxed out FiM districts (30 is maxed out, event capacity is usually 40):

Howell
West Michigan
Center Line
Livonia
Kettering*
Traverse City*
Great Lakes Bay*

*These events have less than 30 teams

For TC specifically (IMO), I think it is because last year, basically all the teams were from northern Michigan or the UP, and zeroing it out now means that FiM can sort through later to make sure that those teams make it in before, say, someone from Detroit signs up and someone has to drive >9 hours for a district event.

FiM is holding spots for rookie home teams till they decide not to compete in their home event. Once the rookie teams sign up for two events in other locations, the spots will be open to non-home teams... this is my understanding.

Also coaches received an email stating that there will likely need to be another district event added for week two. So more teams are definitely in the works, even if they haven't gotten registered just yet.
