That's my error in the legend. I deleted 12 from the 2011 legend because it was zero, but then copied the chart to reuse for 2010 and 2009 and forgot to add 12 back on the legend. The orange is as you guessed the 12-year teams who dropped out.
There doesn't seem to be any geographical correlation for the 4-year teams who dropped out in 2011. They are evenly spread out.
It may be related to the original members, including the teacher/advisors/mentors/students, moving on or just looking for a new challenge to get involved in.
Students are involved for ~3 to 4 years, mentors for 5.2 (according to Brandeis) - might be a correlation for people who don't place importance on succession planning - recruitment of students/mentors/teachers/advisors, fundraising for the generations that come after you, leadership & skill transferral, the wearing out of political support.
P.S.
No teams with more than 14 years experience have ever dropped out.
