Re: possible team merger
Good luck with the merger, no matter what happens.
I can tell you that you won't be rookies again though. We have two teams in Eastern PA working on a merger. Since they are still working out the details, I won't post numbers publicly. However, this is the official response from the head of regional operations we received in Philly about this very scenario:

"Any two teams combining together can choose to use only one of their team numbers. However, that number belongs to the school that formed that team, and while they can then add the other school to it, should any thing happen and they want to separate at some time then the number stays with the first school.
For example:
Team 1234 from Myschool, and team 5678 from Technical Academy can combine to form either:
Team 1234 from Myschool and Technical Academy, or
Team 5678 from Technical Academy and Myschool.

However, if they want to form a whole new team then they can ask for a new number. We would look for a 'retired' number that has not been used for say 5 years. In no case are they a rookie team, and we would not give them a rookie number."

Please have your leadership contact FIRST directly about this as soon as your decision is made.
