Re: pic: FRC Registration Trends 2005-2009

No, you had it right the first time.This only tracks the total number of teams registered.
There are 1679 registered teams this year.

FIRST made it harder to quickly extract the data for team registrations for multiple events, so you'd have to do that footwork yourself. I think I have most of that data lying around, but scattered and uncompiled.

Just to clarify though, this is not a graph of total # of teams, but event registrations?

Meaning, a single team that registers for 3 event will be counted 3 times?
P.S.
Just glancing over the numbers this doesn't appear to be even remotely the case. The trend is for teams to add more events, not drop them.
