Colors change to signify each event structure change, e.g., 1995: added a second event called Nationals, 2009:added the District system.
By the last slide Red is Championship, Blue are Regionals, Yellow are Districts, Green are District Championships, Purple are Teams.

I know this thread has been a lot of discussion about registration this year, but I find the Washington area really interesting in these slides you posted. Cool to visually see the jump in 2009 and then the explosion in 2011 and 2012. Maybe can give people from new Washington teams other locations an idea of how crazy fast things are growing in the Pacific Northwest. My first season with 1983 as rookies we went to Oregon and Las Vegas because there weren't many options nearby, and now there are 3 regionals in Washington state alone! Not to mention Oregon, which is still within driving distance from Seattle. It is impressive how much things have changed in just the 4 short years I was away for college.
