California is listed as 298 teams (including 16 un-numbered rookies). Last number Mark gave for total registration was 2700.

Taking out those rookies for now: 10.4% of FRC.
Leaving the rookies in: 11% of FRC.

600 teams at Championship gives somewhere between 60 and 66 slots to CA depending which number you're using at the moment. Currently, the 7 regionals (that are all full) in CA supply 42 teams.

Assuming CA runs a state championship as large as its largest current event (66 teams at Los Angeles), that's about 22% of teams in the state, and most of 'em would be just about guaranteed a spot at CMP. OTOH, I'd anticipate the number of teams going up as word got around--might see some former teams returning, driving percentage down.
