Re: Registration 2015
 

Yes and no.

The link doesn't work directly unless you've established a session with the FIRST server. The session actually lasts forever after you've established it.
https://my.usfirst.org/myarea/index.lasso probably returns a blank screen for you.

I'm trying to find an easy (though odd) way that anyone can use.

Re: Registration 2015
 

Indiana doesn't have an event with only a single team registered.
That's why it doesn't fit that list.

I'll change the phrasing a little.

Re: Registration 2015
 

Yes, it occasionally pops up for me when I open the events page on usfirst.org but not always.

Re: Registration 2015
 

Here's one way that seems to work consistently.

1. Go to the Regional & District Events webpage: http://www3.usfirst.org/roboticsprog...egional-events
2. Leave the page alone for a good while to let the page session expire.
3. Refresh the page and you should see it switch to the old style page.
4. Optional, some browsers let you open just that part in it's own tab or window.

Re: Registration 2015
 

That's only the Michigan teams that opted into their home event, correct? Because you'd have no way to tell if a team registered but opted out?

Re: Registration 2015
 

For just the team list, going through FRClinks seems to work out, try this: Team List

Re: Registration 2015
 

I believe you are correct. Right now only the close-to-home opt-in teams seem to be listed.

Correlating with the 1st Event Registration – How Boring Was That? FRC Blog post, it appears that at midnight ~70 to 75 teams were waitlisted.
Some of these must have been due to MI teams opting out of the home event, but there were also 10 full events that were accumulating waitlists by that time.

Re: Registration 2015
 

I gotta say, nearly 24 hours after registration opened, FIRST really rocked it. No issues with getting registered so far. As someone who characterized HQ's web presence as something
I was super impressed and I'm looking forward to second/unrestricted registration and FIRST Choice now instead of dreading it.

Re: Registration 2015
 

I'm very pleased with how event registration went, but I'm still a tad skeptical about FIRST Choice....I'd hope HQ and AndyMark are planning on running a series of test runs before the madness ensues.

Re: Registration 2015
 

Now, if we could just have the same level of success with booking hotels through the as yet to be identified booking agency for FIRST this year on the first day(which also has not been identified yet)...

Re: Registration 2015
 

In the end 1st choice worked pretty well. I expect issues with it helped to make this years registration better. I don't think anybody wants a repeat of last years debacle. :]

Re: Registration 2015
 

In case anyone's still curious about this...

The query expressions appended to index.lasso only work if you have an active session with the server and if you send the http request with the appropriate headers. These headers should include both a cookie with your session ID, as well as the headers:
or some variation of these (I didn't rigorously test for what is required, I just mimicked the headers in Chrome's logs until it worked).

Then you can send a request to:
with your Event ID. Or you can request any other data. A list of Event IDs that I scraped from the event listing can be found at:
https://netfiles.umn.edu/users/siekm...Cdata/eids.csv

I wrote a python script that scrapes all the event details and builds a table in html. For example, this was scraped at ~11:00am EST on Friday, 9/26:
https://netfiles.umn.edu/users/siekm...ata/table.html

If I can find access to a webserver, I could put up a page that updates this table a few times every hour. However, processing 100+ separate https requests takes nearly a minute, so it's obviously a better idea for usfirst.org to aggregate this data for us and make it available with a single request...

Re: Registration 2015
 

Yes, the event pages now require a Referer header that contains the string "usfirst.org", otherwise they show up blank.

FRCLinks gets around this by adding an intermediate redirect to another frclinks.com URL that happens to contain "usfirst.org".

If you're getting data programmatically instead of in the browser, it's pretty easy to get around this. E.g:

Re: Registration 2015
 

It appears even with the Referer header, the event_details page always reads eid as invalid, until a different page (such as another frclinks request or a request directly to my.usfirst.org) establishes a cookie. This cookie also needs to be supplied to the event_details page, while it's not needed for other requests.

Re: Registration 2015
 

4592 is registered for South Florida!

Re: Registration 2015
 

Northern Lights has reached initial capacity.

1800 teams showing just before 1pm ET.

97 rookies have signed up for an event.

Re: Registration 2015
 

Yes.

AND YES. I have quite a sore spot on my head from figuring out why it wasn't working. Thanks a ton.

- Sunny G.

Re: Registration 2015
 

Last year, 1800 teams were registered by 12:55pm on 30 Sep; if my notes are correct. So it looks like registration is running 4 days ahead of last year.

Re: Registration 2015
 

I logged in around 11:57 eastern and was able to register. Did it open early, or are my clocks slow?

Re: Registration 2015
 

It opened on time according to NIST & USNO
You can check your clocks against that.

Re: Registration 2015
 

Were you using the school clocks, since they are usually 5 minutes off.

Re: Registration 2015
 

Here's a graph comparing the last 3 registrations with this year.
Not quite as big a gap as it has been in the past.

Re: Registration 2015
 

Forgot to mention that Long Island, Kansas City and San Diego are all at initial capacity and now accumulating waitlists.

On Sunday, Midwest joined them.

Re: Registration 2015
 

I'm still interested in seeing a page with all the regionals, capacities, and open spots, like FIRST had years ago before they redid the website.

Re: Registration 2015
 

It would also be nice if they allowed you to search by region/district. Being in a district with 6 states requires a lot of clicking to get information on our area for teams and events. If there is an easier way its not easy to find.

Re: Registration 2015
 

2512 is registered for Northern Lights again this year. Were excited for an exciting week 1 event!

Re: Registration 2015

This time around, we are coming with our sister team. Looking forward to see you guys there.

... oh yeah, the registration process was super fast and easy. Thank you FIRST.

Re: Registration 2015
 

I've also had a Google Docs page with this information. I've been updating it once or twice a day as teams register.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing

Re: Registration 2015
 

1996 was only a little behind :)

Re: Registration 2015
 

100% of registered 2015 teams have registered. So the rookies win as well, too, right?

Re: Registration 2015
 

Well, except for the other hundred or two...

Re: Registration 2015
 

Just broke 1900 teams 100% registered.

Re: Registration 2015
 

North Carolina just added in 10 teams from the waitlist.
Kevin noted awhile back that NC had added 8 more reserved slots the day before registration opened. Well, they have been assigned.

An hour later,
MN 10K Lakes added 23
MN North Star added 15


2000 teams just after noon today.

Followed by a smattering of minor waitlist changes at:
Los Angeles
Kansas City
Arizona East
Long Island
San Diego

plus
Dallas

So, being so early these must be local teams being brought into the fold.
It seems that the waitlist doesn't appear to include any Michigan non-home teams after all, as they are being drawn into Regional events.

Re: Registration 2015
 

NC should still have at least 13 reserved slots remaining to use up on any other wait-listed teams from the 1st event registration (15+8-10=13). Do not think there will be many reserved slots left in NC for the upcoming 2nd event registration.

EDIT: By the end of the day NC added in a total of 12 teams from the wait-list. NC should still have at least 11 reserved slots remaining (15+8-12=11).

Re: Registration 2015
 

Today brought us close (7 short) to 2100, but not quite yet.
(7:00 ET in the morning we were right at 2100)

There seems to have been a number of teams dropping one event and moving to another.

Waterloo added 10 available slots and one team dropped or switched, so 11 slots there are now open.

Reaching initial capacity are:
St. Louis
Va

Re: Registration 2015
 

2177 team registered
215 --- MI
103 --- MAR
134 --- PNW
157 --- NE
50 ---- IN
1518 -- Regionals

The little dip in the chart there, where the lines for 2015 and 2014 come close then separate, is due to the extra 5 reserved slots held back this year.

(18) Regionals on waitlists
3 of those have significantly drawn down their waitlists

(3) Districts are at waitlist status with 2nd district registration coming up on Thursday

Re: Registration 2015
 

see you all in the morning, eh? To sign up for our second regional

Re: Registration 2015
 

Only district teams can sign up for their second event tomorrow.

Re: Registration 2015
 

Don't scare me like that!! I haven't paid for the first yet!

I believe we get 2nd crack at regionals on the 25th.

Re: Registration 2015
 

See...that's why I asked. I can't understand complicated instructions!

(23rd...not 25th)

Re: Registration 2015
 

You're probably not going to get into whatever 46-slot event you want around here if you wait until Saturday :D

Re: Registration 2015
 

:o

Re: Registration 2015
 

2291 teams registered before noon
Just before 2nd District registration opens.
2323 five minutes after noon.

In preparation, some FiM District events have zero'ed out their open slots even though they haven't reached initial capacity.
E.g., Traverse City is only at 21, Great Lakes Bay @ 25, Kettering @ 29

PNW Auburn Mountainview has had one team drop out or move, so they are at 30 teams.

Before noon:
MI ---- 235
MAR -- 107
PNW -- 139
NE ---- 159
IN ------ 50
Regionals - 1601

Re: Registration 2015
 

Just saw this... and yes, we did register :p :D :p

Re: Registration 2015
 

Just to comment on this... 10,000 is at full capacity, based on previous year's numbers and the limitations of the venue for pit size. The wait list there is just people hoping someone drops out at this point!

Re: Registration 2015
 

That looks like it happened for one team already.
The 10K event total dropped to 62 on Oct 7 and came right back up to 63 the next day, so somebody got in.

Re: Registration 2015
 

Is 2nd regional registration up yet.
I don't see 'add event' :(

Re: Registration 2015
 

Second regional opens on the 23rd. Today's opening is just for district regions.

Re: Registration 2015
 

Thanks all.

I feel sheepish :p

Re: Registration 2015
 

289 District event slots were claimed within 5 minutes.

Re: Registration 2015
 

Seems to be going smoothly too...slots picked up quickly...

Re: Registration 2015
 

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

Re: Registration 2015
 

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

Re: Registration 2015
 

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?

Re: Registration 2015
 

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.

Re: Registration 2015
 

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

Re: Registration 2015
 

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

Re: Registration 2015
 

Try this post instead.

Re: Registration 2015
 

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.

Re: Registration 2015
 

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.

Re: Registration 2015
 

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.

Re: Registration 2015
 

I am surprised that the Pioneer Valley event in the New England District is so undersubscribed.

This is an outstanding venue in a cool small city.

Compared to events that are held in high schools, this venue is a great space that can handle many teams with aplomb.

I am hoping that more teams will choose this as their third district.
If not, MAR, FiM, and Indiana are welcome. (PNW, a long ride :yikes: )
A great travel "regional".
The airport (BDL) is close and there are many hotels right next to the venue.

Inter-districts, let's make this like the old days. Miscegenation rocks!

Re: Registration 2015
 

16 District events were taken to waitlist status today, so now 23 District events are waitlisted.

Waitlisted events/total events:

Re: Registration 2015
 

Team 135 is considering trying to attend a week 1 FiM District Event. Do you MI teams think there will be any slots open at either week 1 event once the "other district" registration opens?

Re: Registration 2015
 

In all honesty I would guess no. There's only 10 and 11 spots left at Howell and Southfield, respectively. However there is always a chance.

Also since there's talk (per an earlier post) of adding another event Week 2, that could lead to some available spots that week if your scheduling allows for a trip to Michigan then.

Re: Registration 2015
 

I would recommend coming to a week 2 ;)

Side note: I have noticed that the listed capacity is down from what some of them ended up being last year, so they could always bump up the number of teams aloud in.

Re: Registration 2015
 

Mark, could you make an estimate (based on historical trends) how many teams 2015 will shake out to have? Alternatively, is your data available in non-chart form?

Re: Registration 2015
 

If this year follows last year and the year before at this particular date, then that'd extrapolate into a team total of 2860 for this year, but registration shows up a little differently this year because of the longer waitlists hiding teams a bit more than usual.
If overall growth is the same as last year, then that'd be about 2903 total teams for this year.

The daily registration tally is available at:
Open Registration Year-to-Year Comparison
It's only updated every once in a while for the current registration period.

Note that the dates in the chart have been normalized to bring registration schedule openings/closings differences over the years into alignment for comparison purposes.
The vertical markers represent the opening of registration for: 2nd District, 2nd Regional, Unrestricted Regional, Closing, and Kickoff.

Re: Registration 2015
 

Thank you again for organizing FRC data Mark, it serves as another reminder that Texas is being left behind in the FRC registration curves. I've discussed Texas registration in 2014 and i will jump into it again for Texas 2015.

Minnesota is very interesting as the 21st most populous state but #3 in FRC teams!

Re: Registration 2015
 

Any idea where the new event might be held if it happens?

Re: Registration 2015
 

Reached 2400 teams

Re: Registration 2015
 

If I were to guess I'd say either the middle or west side of Michigan, considering the other week two events are on the east side of the state.

Re: Registration 2015
 

Sorry if this is a dumb question—but I can't find the Colombian team. Where are you getting this data? I tried searching on usfirst.org but Colombia wasn't on the list of countries I could look in.

Re: Registration 2015
 

Thank you.

Andrew Lawrence, I was aware that they were not registered (through http://www.usfirst.org/whats-going-o...rogramCode=FRC), I was curious to know who the other team was, as googling "Colombia FRC" got me only the Space Stars. (Sorry, I don't know how to quote multiple posts.)

For some reason, googling "FRC 5521" does get me to http://www.usfirst.org/whats-going-o...rogramCode=FRC, which seems inaccessible through any other means, as Colombia continues to be absent from the drop-down menu for countries in the search page. Is this the only way to reach this page?

PS My name is Elizabeth, not Violet. (I just like the color purple.)

Re: Registration 2015
 

Does ANYONE know why no one can sign up for a third district until December 11th? Actually District 3rd plays have a window of December 11th until December 30th. Given the fact that District teams have priority for extra slots over inter District teams... an inter District team might have to wait until after Christmas to know that they are going to be let in.

I don't understand why 3rd District Event registration is SIX WEEKS after open registration for regionals.(October 30)

Does anyone have any idea why this is? Was it this way last year too?

Just wondering

Re: Registration 2015
 

Perhaps they are waiting until after the payment deadline to make sure that no more rookie teams (or late registering veteran teams) pop up before they give those spots away? That's what I'd guess for FiM. The past two years they've ended up adding an event (or two) pretty late in the fall (or even not until build season started I think) so I'd guess that managing total available event spots and getting everybody assigned is rather time consuming, thus necessitating a much later time period for 3rd event registration. The waiting is kind of a bummer though.

Re: Registration 2015
 

Try:

frclinks.com/t

This will generate a list of all teams currently registered.

Re: Registration 2015
 

How do we find out the team #, etc on the teams here who are not from the major player countries and thus not easily searchable on usfirst.org?

Re: Registration 2015
 

frclinks.frclinks.com/t, sort by location. Non-USA locations will be on the first two pages (of 250 teams). No countries appear after USA.

Re: Registration 2015
 

FRCLinks also supports search-by-area.

Does anyone know when FIM will announce wait listed teams?

Re: Registration 2015
 

In my experience it is announced almost too late to make other plans. You would be wise to have the coach for the team email Gail and find out where on the list you are. Any further down than three or four and it is best to look elsewhere. Otherwise you just have to wait and hope.

We definitely preferred knowing for a fact that we would drive a few hours further over simply hoping to get in to an event.

2500 teams now.

In regards to the FRC Blog post: Helping Rookie Teams

Here is a chart comparing rookie registration over the same period to date in 2013, 2014, and 2015.
Note some of the data is interpolated and that's the unnaturally straight parts.
The start day for each year was one day off of the year before, so that was normalized to a common start date (this year's).
2014 had an unusually high initial registration for rookies for some reason.

I wonder if a surge in support for FIRST somewhere near the Great Lakes might have had a "hand" in that?:rolleyes:

Here's a link.

Right now it updates every hour. Starting tomorrow at noon EDT it will update every 5 minutes or so, tapering back off to every hour.

This is fantastic growth for FRC in China. Color me impressed
A chinese regional should definitely happen in 2016 if all these teams stick around.
