Yup, lots of people who are trying to register FLL teams seem to register in the FRC system, every year I see 4 or 5 of those who were trying to register FLL in WA.

And I've seen at least two schools attempt to register FTC teams through FRC this year in Michigan.

Now, if all those teams actually register for an event is an open question, but I count 26 new teams in MN that have yet to register.

I can tell you that a lot of those aren't going to convert to teams. Unfortunately, the registration process has a couple of holes you can fall into when clicking through the screens, and I know for certain that some of our teams fell into them and started fresh a time or two before getting it right. Each of those "attempts" would show up as a team without a number.

So it would appear Michigan will have to add that 20th event.

Has anybody run into this issue before? Going over capacity after registrations are pretty much finished?

It's my understanding that Gail has simply been waiting until sufficient teams register before confirming the addition of more events (with the necessary details like date, venue, etc., having already been worked out for the events). I know there's at least one event that's just waiting for an OK.

Michigan has added events late in the season the past three or four years in a row. I think in 2012 Bedford didn't show up until after kickoff actually. I assume it's as Basal mentioned above, details start getting worked out ahead of teams actually registering and then the events get officially added as they are needed.

That's what I figured, as that seems to have been the practice in the past. I'm not worried about them having one lined up, it's more just my curiosity as to where it will be.

I think if they add another district to Michigan it will be on the west side of the state then the east side of the state just because of how many district competitions there are over on the east end of the state that's my guess

I've never heard of Michigan going to 2 districts but that isn't a bad idea. There are some drawbacks however. But has splitting Michigan into 2 districts been brought up before? I'm curious how the geographical split would split the powerhouse teams in Michigan.

Think they're talking about adding another event, not a whole new district.

Yep. Your right. Sorry for the misread but 2 Michigan districts would be interesting.
