Team 1000 was a rookie in 2003.
Team 2000 was a rookie in 2007.
Part of the reason for getting to team 3000 so quickly is that FIRST issued only odd numbers between 2700 and 2826. About 75 potential numbers were skipped.
Also there is a gap between the highest number in 2007 and the lowest number in 2008, and again in 2008 to 2009. About 50 numbers were not used.
