1986 - Chairman's - Not yet registered
2826 - Rookie All-Star - Already qualified by winning, funny that happened at both MN events :D



I think it was
2008: 340 teams
2007: 344
2006: 344

I count 347 if everyone qualified from MN registers
323 (now) + 18 (MI) + 3 (NS) + 3 (10K) = 347 teams

If we have 347, then 3 divisions would have to have 87 teams and 102 matches. If both MN teams added 6 teams then we would have had 353 teams, one division would have to have 89 teams and 104 matches.

If we have the pit space (no car show) then we might as well have 360 teams, every division have 90 teams and 105 matches. Then there would be no surrogate matches. If we have the space and teams on the wait list, then why do we let in an odd number and play surrogate (wasted) matches. On the other hand, the last thing we need is another reasons to fall behind schedule, be cutoff by NASA TV and miss half the wrap party again.

Side note: anyone know where the updated Michigan ranking are? They should be pulling 14 teams off the list considering only 4 of the 9 qualify spots were not already registered (65, 410, 2771, 2834)

2470 will be going and registering

Qualifiers from Palmetto:

Champion: 1771, currently registered
Champion: 2415, currently registered
Champion: 21, not registered.
Chairman's: 1676, currently registered
EI: 281, currently registered.
RAS: 2815, currently registered.

I'm not sure who had registered prior to Palmetto--I know for a fact that 2815 had not (we couldn't quite seal the deal at Bayou)--but the others remain known unknowns.

Either way, it looks like 21's absence means that at least one slot will be opening up from Palmetto.

where did you get the information above? I am just curious to know what place my team is in even though we qualified.

Re: The Waiting List 2009
 
Does FIRST send out an email saying that Champs is full? I haven't received an email saying "yes" or "no." Does anyone know what they have done in the past to let folks know for sure?

Greetings Championship Wait List Teams:

We have heard from all of our teams that qualified last weekend, and due to the overwhelming number of acceptances we are writing to let you know we will not be able to offer your team a spot at 2009 Championship event. We thank you for your interest, and very much look forward to having your team back with us next year.

Don't forget, you can watch the event starting April 17th via NASA web at http://robotics.nasa.gov/events/2009_frcwebcasts.php or NASA Digital TV at http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/nasatv/digital.html

Thank you all for helping us make the 2009 season such a terrific success!

Go Teams!
looks like there were 45 emails on the list that was sent out.
Best of luck to those who made it in this year!

Re: The Waiting List 2009
 
Could any waitlist teams who recieved an acceptance, share with me when they are required to register by? The wait for divisions is killing me and I want to know when FIRST will have a final number. Also, does anyone know whathappens if lets say half of the accepted waitlist says no? Do they just leave it or do they accept more waitlists?

I have heard that Atlanta is now capped at 348 teams. That puts 87 teams in each division. I could be wrong but i don't see them adding 4 more teams.

If that's the cap, shouldn't divisions be announced sometime today, hopefully before three?

They must have more pull then 1319 because we put ourselves on the waitlist before regionals even started, that's how fast the championships filled up this year. As far as anyone else getting in at this point I don't see it happening. I know that 342 shipped thier robot there just in case however they are not on the list. We will see. This waitlist thing is rather confusing isn't it.

With 40, that was what I heard. Not confirmed though.
