2009 Regional Registration Progress

This is sort of a continuation of Richard's thread from last year.

This morning team registration broke the 1000 barrier.
That's 10% ahead of last year at this same time.

5 resurrected veteran teams, so far.

107 new teams too with Texas and Oklahoma leading the recruiting.
New teams are rookies as well as those not judged by FIRST to be true rookies, such as 2707, 2715, 2719, 2828, 2852, 2858, and 2860.

Code:

TX                        15

OK                        12

IL                         9

MI                        8

MN                       8

CA                        6

MA                       4

NY                        4

AZ                        3

CT                        3

FL                        3

MD                       3

MO                       3

CO                       2

ID                         2

IN                         2

KY                        2

NH                   2

NJ                        2

ON                       2

SC                        2

TN                        2

WI                        2

HI                        1

MS                       1

OH                       1

OR                        1

VA                        1

WA                       1

Looks like another solid growth year even with the economic (hence sponsorship) problems.

Re: 2009 Regional Registration Progress

The Hawaii regional list should increase on the 2nd go around for additional signups. Curious as to who from the mainland will be attending though. :confused:

Re: 2009 Regional Registration Progress

wow i thought Florida would do better than that i know my team got a new team started #2797 what are the others

Re: 2009 Regional Registration Progress

That's great to see all the growth from all the new Texas teams. :)

Re: 2009 Regional Registration Progress

It is great to see the expansion of the FIRST community. Team 1261 would like to invite all new teams to attend the Peachtree Regional(which is literally 2 mins from our workshop) and the Palmetto Regional.

As for all of the returning teams, WELCOME BACK!!!

Re: 2009 Regional Registration Progress

I believe that Team 1884 is going to Chesapeake Regional. :)

Re: 2009 Regional Registration Progress

Just a footnote on the regional list.

The Microsoft Seattle Regional is going to have room for more teams. We will have final numbers in a few days. See my post in the Regional Competition section.

There is a new Florida team forming at Lyman High School in Seminole County, Team 2757 - Just Bad. Team 1902 has loaned them thier 2007 robot to modify and they will be participating in TNT next weekend.

I'd like to welcome all the rookie teams to FIRST. Hang on tight! It is a wild, crazy and fun ride that will impact your lives for decades to come.

Re: 2009 Regional Registration Progress

It looks like FIRST has cleared a lot of the 1st regional waitlisted teams.
The published capacities jumped and a bunch of teams that I knew had registered, but didn't appear on the registered team list are now there and on the regional team lists.

Getting ready for tomorrow's open registration I see.

Just shy of 1300 teams, registration is almost 200 teams ahead of this time last year. including that rookie from Istanbul.

Re: 2009 Regional Registration Progress

team 1018 will be at Boilermaker Regional

See ya there!!!

Re: 2009 Regional Registration Progress

That was fast!

2nd event registration opened and vroom all available Championship slots were filled within 20 minutes.
One new team snuck onto the list, but was soon pulled by FIRST.

Many Regionals went quickly to their published max capacity too, although I'm sure many waitlisted teams will make it to the event of their choice.

Re: 2009 Regional Registration Progress

Re: 2009 Regional Registration Progress

Yes, a lot of regular attendees used their first sign up for other events. Now it looks like the whole state of CT and some teams from all the other New England States will be there to welcome you. Looking forward to it!
