In 2016, California had 258 teams. Michigan had just a hair over 400 teams. So in actuality, that number is ~65%.
But beyond that, the logic of having 35% less FRC teams than Michigan, yet needing 25-75% more events than Michigan, is crazy. I've heard other great people in CA share similar figures, but after a brief explanation of district numbers/team count, they better understand that the 25-35 event number is pretty exaggerated. It comes down to an awareness issue, which I'm hoping the proposal helps with!
For those too lazy to read the whole proposal, we project needing 17 district events, plus two championships, in 2018. This estimate is assuming 10% FRC team growth year over year for the next two seasons.
Happy to answer any additional questions.
