An interesting statistic came up in this
How Many teams Attend 2 Regionals? thread.
For 2010:
- 27% of non-MI teams are signed up to attend 2+ Regionals
This doesn't include Championship or Michigan teams, mostly because those numbers are far from settled yet.
I became interested in how this compared to last season and it appears to be a 16% deviation from where it should be, probably due to the economic downturn.
For 2009:
- 28% of non-MI teams attended 2+ Regionals
- 38% of non-MI teams attended 2+ events if we add-in the Championship
- 42% of all teams attended 2+ events (including Michigan teams, MI State event & Championship)
For 2008 (reworked these to be comparable to '09 numbers by removing MI teams):
- 25% of non-MI teams attended 2+ Regionals
- 32% of non-MI teams attended 2+ events if we add-in the Championship
- 34% of all teams attended 2+ events (including Michigan teams & Championship)
For 2008 if we keep everyone lumped together 27% of all teams attended 2+ Regionals, excluding the Championship.
The Michigan experiment changed the % of MI teams going to multiple events from 58% in 2008 before the district model to 99% in 2009 with the district model.
