(See following posts for explanation of the Seattle Shuffle. The teams will all return as they are reapportioned to evenly distribute rookies among veterans.)
There was a big loss of 40 registered teams yesterday.
Lost:
- 29 Washington state
- 6 Ontario Canada
- 5 singletons from other locations.
The double Regional in Seattle imploded as it struck 47 teams from instate and surrounding areas who’d signed up. One new team added in.
The combined double regional would only amount to 52 teams now.

- 2043 teams
- 412 new teams (5 of them are new veteran teams, 3 are returning from long, long ago > 7 years)
