The overall retention rate at the moment is 92.8%.
- Michigan currently has 58 rookies, 21% of all 2015 current rookies.
- About 160 Michigan teams are on waitlists for at least one event. This doesn't include missing teams, so the actual number is higher.

When is FiM going to split? North/South or East/West?
If FRC allows 600 teams for the championship, and gives districts spots based on % of overall teams (eventually), the FiM State Championship will qualify nearly every team at the state championship.
Cleary Michigan is doing something right with grants when a single state can boast over 11% of all teams worldwide. It's a good problem to have.
