FIRST Website Team Pages?

I am getting ready to update The Blue Alliance to have 2010 data for all teams. However, FIRST has changed their website, and I can't figure out how to find the URL for a team's information page.

For instance:

Team 177 is at https://my.usfirst.org/myarea/index....ils&tpid=28633
Team 195 is at https://my.usfirst.org/myarea/index....ils&tpid=28651

This makes it appear that you can find a FIRST team's page by setting the "tpid" parameter to be equal to "28456 + Team Number". This suggests that Team 111's page should be https://my.usfirst.org/myarea/index....ils&tpid=28567, but this is in fact the page for Team 115.

Is there any way to turn a team number into a USFIRST.org team information page URL without any prior knowledge of how their database is structured? Pat Fairbank seems to have figured it out for frclinks.com, but I am not sure how he has done it.

Thanks!
