Re: Registration 2010
Just got an e-mail from a rookie team saying "it's not working for us here..." and I don't know how to help them since I don't have access to TIMS.

Re: Registration 2010

Re: Registration 2010
Registration opened up right at 9:00AM here on the West Coast. I had visions of someone in NH watching the atomic clock, waiting to throw the switch. We're looking forward to seeing a lot of friends at Silicon Valley.

Re: Registration 2010
Does anybody out there know anything about the new Utah Regional that has been billed as a "mini regional"...is it mini because of a small number of teams or because it is only a two day event...or both???

Re: Registration 2010
Yes, response was slow (11:58 TO 12:15) but we did get through the registration with no problems. Obviously there is heavy traffic so slow reesponse is to be expected. Just must be very patient and wait for response.

Re: Registration 2010
West Michigan is full with only 25 teams ? whats up with that. In that great venue at GVSU they should be able to host at least 40. just my 2 cents:ahh:

Re: Registration 2010
Hi,
Watch out for the Michigan district event numbers, some of the links are wrong, some are linked to 2009 events which is why they say full 40 out of 40. They are only opening up 25 slots from each district event for now to allow rookie teams to go to where they want to go. Sincerely, Ed Quote:

Re: Registration 2010
Both 1398 and 2815 have registered for Bayou. Neither team's main contacts let loose any anguished screams loud enough to hear from where I was at noon, so I assume it went well enough.

Re: Registration 2010
They left a small gap between 2009 and 2010 number series. However there's a lot of numbers at the low end of 2009 that weren't used, and could be used at a later date for team splits, etc.

1000 teams on the registered list (in half the time it took last year)
64 of them rookies (plus new teams 51 & 78) Note: This count doesn't include any Washington state teams who have registered for the Seattle Regional. They haven't yet been entered on the official FRC rolls. Ann Arbor District is now at initial capacity. |

One school that's been out 4-years has returned to play again, six altogether. A team from Australia and another new team from Mexico. Boilermaker is now at initial capacity. It's been a week since registration opened. 13 events are at initial capacity, several others only have one or two open slots. Events in red are full. Code:

Re: Registration 2010
That sucks that all the Michigan events are full.....We were hoping to get a third event for $500....Looks like no one is going to have a chance at that.
|
Re: Registration 2010
It's not as bad as it looks for the District events. The initial capacity they've opened up for registration has been filled, but each district has held back 15 slots to allow rookie teams, who typically register later, to get in too.
Unused slots will be turned back to general registration later and you'll have an opportunity to register for a third district event. Finger Lakes, as an example, looked like it had reserved 20 slots for some reason, before releasing 10 more a few days ago. But based on last year's final registration of 50, they still have 10 slots held back. |
Re: Registration 2010
Seattle has finally listed 39 teams registered there.
Up to 1250 teams registered now, about a week ahead of last year's pace. Already at 75% of the total teams last year. |
Re: Registration 2010
The Utah Regional upped their open capacity by 10 more teams.
Similar to what happen with Finger Lakes. I imagine we'll see more of those capacity increases pretty soon. Just about at the 80% mark of teams registered last year. 1337 leet! |
Re: Registration 2010
DC is now at published capacity.
(3:30pm - Midwest has filled too) (9am,Oct 22 - Peachtree is full) (Oklahoma has just one initial slot open) All three have probably at least 10 slots held in reserve for late registering rookies and waitlist teams that may add on after today, so don't be shy about signing up, even though it looks full right now. Waitlist teams in Michigan have been moved off the district waitlists. Expect to see these top out at 40 teams each. Kettering: 33 Traverse: 33 Ann Arbor: 29 Cass Tech: 26 W. Mi.: 37 Detroit: 28 Troy: 32 Boilermaker add one team off the waitlist. Boston dropped one, then added one. Over 1400 teams now (1402). Registration is ahead of last year at this same time (~9%), but not by last year's margin over the year before that (~15%). Should have a healthy increase before 2nd regional registration opens tomorrow. Of course after 2nd registration, open capacity will quickly fill up and we won't be able to see where the waitlists stand. Here are some stats on the eve of the second registration rush. Some region codes are left to the reader to figure out what country they belong to. :p Code:

New Teams GainedCode:
Currently RegisteredHere's where the Regionals stand as of 9am before 2nd Registration opens at noon. I added an estimate of the unpublished full capacity based purely on last year's attendance (and Philly's last time at Drexel). Traditionally, FIRST makes events hold back 10 slots, but that varies if they expect explosive growth in rookies in a particular area. In my experience these capacity totals are not absolute. Some venues can squeeze in a few more if push comes to shove, but that's completely at the discretion of each Regional Director and FIRST HQ and how the event furniture can be rearranged. Red simply indicates that the event has reached it's initial published capacity. Code:

Figured it out.

Re: Registration 2010
What is the date for registration for a third district in Michigan?
|
Re: Registration 2010
More events filled up quickly as you'd expect.
Championship only had 24 open slots and they were gone in seconds. San Diego, Finger Lakes, Greater Kansas, New Jersey, NYC, WPI, North Carolina are all at currently released capacity. If you're already on the waitlist by now, then you'll probably get in to those events. P.S. Oklahoma and Connecticut are now full too (5pm) P.P.S Buckeye is full (9pm) |
Re: Registration 2010
I called FIRST and they said Michigan 3rd events will be announced at a later date.

At 6:00am Hawaii time, we tried to get in repeatedly. It kept saying ineligible until about 6:10am, it finally said eligible, at which time we got waitlisted.:confused: I called FIRST about 6:05am and they said it was probably because the official eligibility sign up was tomorrow.:confused: I didnt believe it still trying. Then I called back and said we got waitlisted (eligible). Two weeks ago, they said getting in was based on who paid first, and so on. When I asked, they said that policy got changed back to who signed up first because people complained about not being able to pay on the spot. Personally, I think the issue went from one complaint type to another. Now, its about who can get through the system faster than others. Hawaii always had a hard time signing up for these situations due to our location. We tried Florida several years ago and couldnt get in for an hour. By the time we got on, we knew why. Everyone that wanted to sign up, already did and filled the regional. What about teams that are prepared to pay and do what it takes to raise the funds necessary to participate vs who can get on the fastest? :) |

And frankly I am not really sure I want to make a high priced, rushed trip expedition at the last minute even if we do get in at some point late in the season. The increase in airfares and last minute rush isn't worth it. Soo- I am going to the team next meeting to suggest we put the money saved on going to Atlanta into another shot out your way next season ; ). I'll just hate to miss playing with all our friends across the country as we do at Nats and we still havent won the Galileo division- the only win we haven't achieved.. Of course if there are still slots open for the Vegas regional we are playing there and expect to have a great time. They know how to have fun at that event. WC |
Re: Registration 2010
That is a good point about showing the wait list. They did in the past, so why not continue? It gives teams info that show how realistic it is to get in.
Our team is already debating whether to use our funds for a 3rd regional vs Atlanta. We cant wait until possibly as late as the Hawaii regional to see if we qualify and then decide how to pay for a Hawaii-Atlanta trip. In 2009, we had already qualified via the CMP EI award and had ample time to plan, raise funds and prepare. The other 3 Hawaii teams that qualified were scrambling big time! Its not like they could drive there. :) :) We are hoping that our State ROC and BAE will come through again for Hawaii teams that qualify from Hawaii. BAE has been gracious to give each team 5k to attend Atlanta the last two years (10k when we won the CA award in 2008.) If you guys go to Vegas, see you there. Brother who lives there is getting married that weekend. |
Re: Registration 2010
I much preferred the pay-first/play-first method.
It certainly relieved the pressure of logging in at exactly noon to get a chance to play, and it forced teams to plan and fundraise for the next season instead of surviving hand-to-mouth. The last person to complain to FIRST wins, but I agree with Glenn, such complaints benefit only oneself and just shifts the problem on to other teams. Wheedling your waitlist chance out of a Regional Director just causes more aggravation for everyone involved. If we won two weeks before Atlanta we wouldn't go on such short notice. The stress of that is too much on everyone, unless it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. |
Re: Registration 2010
Team 980 was on the CMP wait list last year. We went to the Las Vegas Regional thinking we had to win to get in. After we lost in the semi-finals, we thought our season was over...
We got an e-mail from FIRST on the Thursday AFTER the regional (April 2) telling us a spot had opened up for CMP. Fortunately, we had the funds available AND our robot had not yet been picked-up by FedEx in Vegas. It was a mad scramble to get travel arrangements and permissions in place, but we made it there. This year, we'll need to earn our way to CMP. |

Re: Registration 2010
Minnesota North Star is now full
Virginia and Utah are now full 8am 10/24 P.S. A day after 2nd Regional Registration opened I drove 300 miles past 7 Regional venues. Only one had slots left for teams. |
Re: Registration 2010
We got lucky with the Championship Registration process. I logged in at 11:50 & kept going though the system for a few minutes to check it out. I had a student with the atomic clock sitting next to me to tell me when to get in. I started at the main team info page & went through the process. It actually took me almost 2 minutes to get registered but we got a spot. I also signed us up for Buckeye at the same time. Good thing, I had no idea it would fill up so quick.
|
Re: Registration 2010
FIRST needs to publish the waitlist for the championship and I encourage everyone to call and tell them so. I am sure that many teams are in the same boat with enough money to attend 2 events we would rather go to the championship rather than another regional, but don't want to risk not going to a second event altogether. Having had to make championship plans last min, I would prefer never to do that again. If they show us the wait list it will illustrate what our chances are, if you are in the top 25 on the wait list vs 200th it will give teams a better understanding of what their options on rather than putting it all to chance.
|
Re: Registration 2010
Quote:
However filling the regionals that would otherwise have empty slots should financially motivate someone to show the wait list so the "distant" teams can spend their money elsewhere in the FIRST world. You know needing to win a spot in Atlanta kind of changes my motivations for playing this game... WC :cool: |

Third regional for your team. Can we suggest that you come back to New Jersey? We would love to see you come out here. We missed the Nationals, because Wayne was a real slacker that day and waited all the way until 12:01 and it was already full. I had to do this thing called teach class, which I am sure a lot of mentors do since it is a school event. If we wait to make plans for Nationals after we hopefully would qualify for it, it would cost a lot more money for the late plans. Hopefully we will save the money for another trip out to Hawai'i, with or without the robot. Your regional was great. We felt like we won, just for stepping off of the plane. You couldn't have made us feel more welcomed. |
