Do you remember what time PST they were released?

It's up to 612 now. So much for 75 per division.

Does that list include everybody that is qualified or everyone that has accepted invitations?

Last week it did the same thing. To my knowledge TIMS adds everyone who has qualified as "Registered" but to remain registered you must submit payment by 8PM the Tuesday (today) following the qualifying event. So like last week on Tuesday it was around 525 then dropped to 490 or so on Wednesday.

This is correct. It's actually done this way because the option to pay on TIMS won't show up until a team is "Registered" for an event, so FIRST has to list everyone that got an invitation as "Registered" in order for them to pay. If a team declines, it can take a little while for the list to update.

Frank explained the process on the FRC Blog last week, although it was somewhat overshadowed by an announcement a couple of hours later.

I like to believe that nebraska hasn't adopted FRC is because of the cost. 4H costs next to nothing for groups. The only money that groups need are for their projects, which can be as big or as small as they like. If you were to suddenly make an FRC team, you'd need to raise thousands of dollar simply to be allowed to compete. There's no need to throw a system out that is already a great success.
Nebraska, much like Iowa, doesn't really have the population density to support FRC teams (outside of a few locations). Additionally, NE seems to be pretty covered by VEX.

(This includes all VEX IQ and VEX U)

I know FTC Iowa has been training volunteers for at least two years to up FTC in Nebraska but according to FIRST there are only 13 FTC teams.

EDIT: I'm horribly off topic of the original thread. My bad!

I think it would be beneficial for us frogs to be in the new hopper division

Down to 608 as of this morning 8am EDT. I suppose 76 per division won't be terrible (especially considering the 100 we've had for the last 4 years).

Assuming ~7 minute match turnaround, that gives us 10 matches over the 14.5 hours of scheduled qualification rounds. If our field reset operates like a friction-less machine, we could get 6 minute turn around and have 11 matches, but based on the sheer number of game objects, 7 minutes is more practical.

a single team will only add 2 matches to this schedule, so not a big impact.

They are still adding teams. 2876 was added to the list around 7am central time.

Still waiting to see the FRC website updated with the eight new divisions listed...

I really hope that doesn't delay the release of divisions.
