That is a creepy coincidence, now we can compare the exact time that it took the first thousand teams and the next thousand teams to sign up. We're already at the 1400 mark this year. I don't think it will take that long to see 2000 teams!!!

That's not really what happened, however.
In 2002, the OI could not display anything more than a three-digit number. Team registration began by assigning team numbers at 800. When registration hit 999, FIRST had to go back and begin filling in empty numbers. Teams registered from 717 through 800 actually registered after team 999.
