Re: Registration 2011

Back to our irregularly scheduled program chatter...

Bosnia has joined again along with another Turkish team.
  1. Australia
  2. Bosnia
  3. Brazil
  4. Canada
  5. Chile
  6. Germany
  7. Israel
  8. Mexico
  9. Turkey
  10. United Kingdom
  11. 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
