Re: Registration 2011
- 2067 Total teams
- 406 Rookie teams
- 412 New teams (19.9% - 2008 and earlier had higher percentages of new teams))
- 18 resurrected veteran teams who did not play in 2010
- 259 Net team gain (14.3%)
- 91.5% 2010 team retention rate (only 2003 had a higher (+.5%) retention rate over ALL FRC years)
- 271 teams currently registered for Championships. (heading for ~350)
My team is too far down the overflow waitlist, so we got this FIRST email:
Quote:
Greetings Championship Wait List Team:
Over the past four weeks of competition a high number of qualifying teams have accepted their invitation to attend the Championship event, and we expect this to be the case for weeks five and six. We have reviewed the Championship wait list, and based on your team’s position, it is highly unlikely we will be able to offer your team a spot to attend.
There does remain a chance that a registered team(s) could drop out, however this chance is very small and it could come as late as a week - even days - before the Championship takes place. If your team would like to stay on the list to be considered for a "short notice invite" in the event a spot opens, kindly respond to this email with your interest. Please include your team number. Teams that do not respond or respond they are not interested will be taken off the list. Teams that are interested will remain on the list in date order (i.e., the date they registered for the wait list via TIMS.)
For those of you who have completed your events for the season we want to thank and congratulate you! We look forward to having you with us in 2012. For those of you with events coming up, we wish you the best of luck in qualifying for the Championship.
Warm Regards,
FRC Teams
