I realize I'm a bit late with all of this -- but I read through this thread and decided to go through our database with the team info. Some strange things happen before teams were given permanent numbers (which I think was in 1998?) -- I'm missing some data. But all the data after that should be pretty stable. Anyway I've made up a page with # of rookies for each year and retention rates. The row is the year you're looking at (i.e. the row 2006 refers to the 2006 season). Then each column is the number of teams (out of the original # of teams) that participated in that season. So for row 2006, column 2000: then 271 of the 372 teams from the 2000 season also participated in the 2006 season for a rentention rate of 72.849%. Note: the list of # of rookie teams is based off registration -- not whether they participated in an event or not.
