You'll have a good time, GSR is a great regional. Drop by and say hi if you want!

Re: Registration 2012
 

3 and a half days of Registration remain and after the Thanksgiving holiday we're sitting at 2269 teams.

Re: Registration 2012
 

We have a new FIRST Kick-Off event in Peoria, IL at Bradley University.
Is there a way to find out who has signed up for the Kick-Off events?

Re: Registration 2012
 

The kickoff coordinator for each local kickoff should have visibility into registered teams through the event management site.

Re: Registration 2012
 

I have a question. =)

We were on the waitlist for our local regional. The waitlist email from FIRST said we would receive an automated email if space opened up.

I checked this morning. The # of registered teams for the regional had increased and our teams name appeared on the list of registered teams on USFIRST.org..... BUT I never received the automated email saying we got off the waitlist.

Does this mean we're off the waitlist? Or do waitlisted teams also show up on the USFIRST.org Event's registered teams website?

Thanks!!:D

Re: Registration 2012
 

Best way to get an answer is to email your Regional Director. You can find the contact information here: http://www.usfirst.org/regional-contacts

Re: Registration 2012
 

Look on TIMS to see the status of your registration for events.
An email should have gone to the TIMS Main Contact, but there's always the possibility it got trapped somewhere.

Here's the one I got from our home regional. It includes an invoice:
TIMS gives you an accounting like the attached where you can see we are on the event list for SBPLI & Championship ("Registered"), but still on the waitlist for WPI ("Waitlist").
Edit/View gets you to the invoices.

Re: Registration 2012
 

Thanks for the replies! I checked TIMS event section and it said we are registered. What a relief!

Re: Registration 2012
 

Just reached 2300 teams.
That's

• A growth rate of 11.6% (just a smidgen under 2009's growth - only 3 other years have seen smaller growth though)
• 429 new teams, 18.6% of all 2012 season teams (surpassing last season's 411)
• 26 recovered defunct teams (14.8% recovery rate). The oldest after a 13 year hiatus
• But a 9.2% loss of veteran teams (216)

9 Events seem to have reached (or surpassed) maximum capacity (e.g., if you're waiting for NYC... you're probably out of luck)

32 hours remaining to register...

Re: Registration 2012
 

Mark,
Do you know the typical loss rate after the first payment date?

Re: Registration 2012
 

Registration is now closed.



2332 teams at the bell.

I do have numbers for team losses after registration closes, however, the interesting thing is that the number of teams is going to continue to rise through the next couple of weeks. FIRST seems to be forgiving with teams on the edge. You can see that in this plot posted last year.

I'll post a current year plot tomorrow.

Re: Registration 2012
 

What is the cause of that weird dip in 2011 in January?

Re: Registration 2012
 

Michigan teams getting shuffled, I think?
