Back to our irregularly scheduled program chatter...
Bosnia has joined again along with another Turkish team.
- Australia
- Bosnia
- Brazil
- Canada
- Chile
- Germany
- Israel
- Mexico
- Turkey
- United Kingdom
- United States
HI Regional is hosting the Australian team
Mexico teams are going all over-
all three Texas events, AZ, CO, San Diego, Oregon, Toronto East
San Diego also gets a Brazilian team
Israel Regional will get not only Bosnia, but also Brazil reps
LA hosts Chile
Las Vegas gets to see Germany as always-I wonder what draws them to LV every time?
WPI sees a UK team as does NYC
Midwest gets a team from Turkey
Seattle sees the Turkish team again but also gets a second one
NYC has always seen the UK's 759. I was there when they first crossed the pond and have a signed Union Jack to show for it.
Did you know the UK teams are only two-year schools?
Think of running a team with only freshmen and sophomores year-after-year...
We're approaching the 2009 # of teams (25 teams shy), but are only ~150 teams away from last year's numbers too.
- 20% of veteran teams remain missing (or tardy like most of the Israelis)
- >200 rookies now
- ~41,000 students now registered
- 2,147 event slots spoken for, plus pending wait list wannabe's
Here are the places supplying the largest team blocks:
- CA ---- 159
- MI ---- 149
- NY ---- 104
- TX ---- 83
- MN ---- 81
