I am now officially worried about Florida FRC this year

As of right now both of our regionals are "full" and we are at 56 teams in the state, last year we had 72 teams.

Now Orlando has had a capacity of 64 teams since 2011 so 9 more spots could be available there, but that still doesn't make up for the fact that we have 16 teams less then last year. What is really shocking is that most of our missing teams are not the usual case of lack of rookie retention, (5 out of our 8 rookies are returning this year) it is our veteran teams that have not registered yet: 59, 665, 1612, 2757, 3376, 3502, 3557, 3611, 3659, 3732, and 3790 all were considered veterans last year and have not registered yet for a competition anywhere.

I would really love to know what happened to the teams above and if anyone can give a hint as to why they might think we have such a hit on our veteran teams. Before it is brought up I am aware that the 3000+ teams hit the 4 year wall this year and you see a lot of teams fold around that time but this seems a little out of the ordinary even for that
