The average loss of veteran teams over the past 5 years has been 214/yr or an average retention rate of 92.4%
Last year the vet retention rate was 94.2%, the best it's ever been in any year.
I do have a breakdown, but I'm working an off-season for the next two days, so I won't be able to get to it right away.
We also have a week left to open registration and a bubble that typically peaks about two weeks later around mid-December then drops back over a couple of months as a few teams fail to make their payments or drop out due to other issues.
Israel is probably the largest block of missing vets, but locally Long Island also has four vets on waitlist that are trying to get resolved with the lack of playing space at the LI Regional. I'm sure other areas have common issues, too.
