Re: Registration 2010

Thanks for posting Andrew, I got distracted by the FRC Records thread.

P.S. Bayou is now at advertised capacity (5pm, 11/21).

2359 competition slots are filled.

The Minnesota events are completely full, waitlisted teams now need someone to drop out before they can get in.
Dallas has squeezed in a few more than I guessed they would handle.

Don't forget Hawaii also has one published slot still open, plus probably 10 reserved spots.
Waterloo has one open capacity, but has changed to 26 slots available from it's original 20.

Israel too has a lot of spots remaining.
A half dozen Israel teams registered in just the past day.

Colorado and Chesapeake filled in just the last couple of days.

Actually, there are a few events (Kansas, WPI, Oklahoma) where teams have dropped out bringing the current total of players below the original published open capacity. Now, that doesn't mean that there aren't teams salivating on and overflowing the waitlists.

Only 4 more working days for registration, since it closes a couple of days earlier than in past seasons.
I expect registration will be flat over the weekend and over the extended US Thanksgiving weekend, but rise sharply on the regular working days.

Michigan events still have their "2nd Registration" coming up on December 1, so expect a surge to fill the remaining open slots at the district events there.

After registration closes, teams remaining on waitlists will be moved off and will keep appearing on the registered rolls up through the middle of December.
After that teams start to dwindle off all the way up through the start of competition. The total registered typically drops by roughly 25 teams from the peak in mid-December.
