FIRST HQ has changed the rules over the decades. Here are the current rules (not in effect in 2005).

This is all based on or derived from freely available data from the FIRST website. Sometimes it's a semi-automated data scraping, other times and places it's just copied into a spreadsheet. Depends on if I'm borrowing a machine or not.
Some historical intermediate data, like snapshots of registration, I collected and preserved in years past, because I figured I'd want easy access to it some day.

Don't know. It's possible some are just hidden on the Hawaii waitlist.
The missing teams only ever attend the Hawaii Regional, with the sole exception of 368.
Five of the missing ten were registered by this time last year, so it's probable that half just haven't done it yet.
