Re: Registration 2014

Several teams from Long Island were told they didn't have a prayer of getting off the waitlist for Troy, because it's the closest for so many teams sandwiched by the MAR/NE Districts, so a couple of them switched to Cleveland where the waitlist was short.
Other teams had to just bow out of a second event altogether this year.

So just because an event doesn't show available room, it may be worth it to talk to FIRST HQ about possible alternate events.
Although it probably means more driving time (~3 times more for LI to Cleveland, than for LI to Troy, but for DC it's 6 hrs to either event).
