Re: Registration 2012

I tried a pie chart first of everyone, but it sort of just looks like a colored pinwheel with too many entries.

These kinds of plots are going to mostly show areas with few teams at both the upper and lower ends of the spectrum.
They can illuminate transistion areas where team loss/gain is more critical to reaching a self-supporting mass.
Larger established areas aren't at risk of dying from loss of teams while small areas are. Loss of teams in low-density areas = a lack of experienced support.

I suppose we could generate individual charts based on FRC team population catagories, e.g.,
  1. 0 to 10 teams
  2. 11 to 20
  3. 21 to 50
  4. 51 to 100
  5. 101 to 200
I'll try a chart based on absolute number rather than % that sort of factors in the size of an area. (It's posted as part of the prior post)
