Well, there certainly were less then 1000 teams last year. I'd say the predictions were pretty good, considering almost everyone else expected over 1000. This year there are less then 700 teams registered currently, so I'd expect Raul's prediction to be dead on, or optimistic.

I agree. I think last year was about 927 teams. Raul came very close, particularly when considering the unknown factor of NASA sponsoring almost 200 teams last year.

FIRST has added 15 % more regionals this year or about 150 more teams.

Looks to me, FIRST is expecting a maximum of 1077 this year.

We shall see.

Mr. Bill
