Re: Registration 2011
 

Michigan has flushed its' district event waitlists about 3 weeks earlier than last year.
Kettering, Traverse City, West Michigan, Detroit, Ann Arbor, and Troy are full at 40 teams each.

Livonia has only a single space unfilled, and Niles is still only half filled.

Now to wait and see where the overflow will go?

Re: Registration 2011
 

I have it from a reputable source that they're looking for a 9th district event. Which should leave 16+ spots for 3rd district events for teams.

I'd like allowing non-MI teams to be allowed to fill those gaps (with no chance to advance or qualify for Nationals), but I don't see that happening.

Re: Registration 2011
 

Recieved 12-9 at 4:28 P.M.:

We have a new week 2 event (March 11-12) at:
Waterford Mott High School
1151 Scott Lake Road
Waterford, MI 48329

The event will be hosted jointly by our two Waterford teams 2612 Waterford Mott and 3098 Waterford Kettering.

Today we began clearing the waitlists for all the other events. When this is complete, there will be open spots available at Niles and Waterford, for teams that still need second events. The Waterford event is not yet open on the FIRST website. I will let you know when it is.

Re: Registration 2011
 

The second late registering Tennessee rookie is finally on the Smoky Mtn. event list in place of 1311.

The Waterford District is now listed on the FIRST event site.

Still no movement as a result of the latest waitlist invitations.

Re: Registration 2011
 

Here is the current tally for how many events teams are signed-up for. This includes Regionals, Districts, and Championship.

Overall ~a quarter of teams do more than one event.

# Events/#Teams
5 Count 1
4 Count 4
3 Count 61
2 Count 490
1 Count 1523

Re: Registration 2011
 

New rookie just appeared at Boilermaker, any more pop up over the weekend?

Re: Registration 2011
 

Who is the 5 count?

Re: Registration 2011
 

8 new rookies appeared over the weekend counting the new Indiana team, one rookie dropped out.

Right now it looks like JC Penny is sponsoring 129 rookies.
They seem to account for the big increase in rookie teams this year.

Rookie team 3785 is being sponsored by #64 The Gila Monsters, remember them?
The Gila Monsters last played in 2005 and were somewhat replaced by team 39 who have not re-registered to play this season.

Team 141

Re: Registration 2011
 

Here are the registration fees teams have/will pay so far:

• Initial fee (vet): 1657 teams @ $5,000 = $8,285,000
• Initial fee (newish): 423 teams @ $6,500 = $2,749,500
• 2nd+ events: 482 event slots @ $4,000 = $1,928,000
• MI 3rd events: 6 teams @ $500 = $3,000
• Championship: 140 teams @ $5,000 = $700,000

Total FRC registration fees = $13,665,500

Re: Registration 2011
 

Is this the largest single year growth in the number of FRC teams so far?

Re: Registration 2011
 

I'm not sure how many MI teams are signed up for 3 events, but I know at least 2337 and 141 are registered for 3 right now.

Man, Clint (head mentor) is fast... I wasn't even aware of this!

Re: Registration 2011
 

Impressive amount of money! Makes me wonder how much is spent on FIRST fields and how much more money regionals have to raise. :ahh:

Re: Registration 2011
 

Thanks for catching that, I was assuming...
53 teams are still only registered for a single District event, and I forgot 3rd District sign-up opened while I was away.

Six Michigan teams have already been registered for third events.
Teams: 27, 123, 141, 302, 904, 2337
