Re: Rookie or not?
There have been situations in which this has happened in the past. One example is the Baxter Bomb Squad (16) when they were unable to compete in 2001. The next year they returned and were able to keep their number and status. There are some certain rules FIRST has in place if a team misses a year and then comes back to compete later on. It has to do with the schools and sponsors etc. I believe your team will retain their number and not be considered a rookie.
If your team is essentially the 'same team' as you were in 2003 and before, you should stay as team 573 and not be a rookie team again. Both because I think it would go against gratious professionalism if a team used "that year off" as a way to compete in the Championships the next year. <--- (that is just a hypothitical situation.)
