DC is now at published capacity.
(3:30pm - Midwest has filled too)
(9am,Oct 22 - Peachtree is full)
(Oklahoma has just one initial slot open)
All three have probably at least 10 slots held in reserve for late registering rookies and waitlist teams that may add on after today, so don't be shy about signing up, even though it looks full right now.
Waitlist teams in Michigan have been moved off the district waitlists.
Expect to see these top out at 40 teams each.
Kettering: 33
Traverse: 33
Ann Arbor: 29
Cass Tech: 26
W. Mi.: 37
Detroit: 28
Troy: 32
Boilermaker add one team off the waitlist.
Boston dropped one, then added one.
Over 1400 teams now (1402).
Registration is ahead of last year at this same time (~9%), but not by last year's margin over the year before that (~15%).
Should have a healthy increase before 2nd regional registration opens tomorrow. Of course after 2nd registration, open capacity will quickly fill up and we won't be able to see where the waitlists stand.
Here are some stats on the eve of the second registration rush.
Some region codes are left to the reader to figure out what country they belong to.

Here's where the Regionals stand as of 9am before 2nd Registration opens at noon. I added an estimate of the unpublished full capacity based purely on last year's attendance (and Philly's last time at Drexel). Traditionally, FIRST makes events hold back 10 slots, but that varies if they expect explosive growth in rookies in a particular area. In my experience these capacity totals are not absolute. Some venues can squeeze in a few more if push comes to shove, but that's completely at the discretion of each Regional Director and FIRST HQ and how the event furniture can be rearranged.
Red simply indicates that the event has reached it's initial published capacity.
