We now have more than 300 new teams counting both the rookies and new instant veteran-status teams.
California and Michigan are tied with 164 teams each.
Five areas have more than 100 teams each (century areas if you will).
- (164) California
- (164) Michigan
- (118) Texas
- (108) New York
- (104) Minnesota
Seattle Cascade has opened up again, so there are a few more slots for willing teams.
Israel teams are trickling in, up to 17 now.
A few more Texas teams got admitted to each of the local Regionals, but there's still a lot of room for the waitlisted teams.
I was just counting the number of fields that FIRST needs this year and it looks like 14 are necessary. 13 active all at once week 3, plus the spare field they usually talk about. Maybe a separate mockup field back at HQ?
Attached is a plot of the registration progress thus far.
-------------------
I'll be off grid for a couple of weeks starting tomorrow, so feel free to talk amongst yourselves...
If some of you wouldn't mind posting the registration total every few days or so I'd appreciate it. That way, when I return, I can see what happened while I was gone.
