[Tytus Gerrish]

i was just looking thru the team list check out the last team on this list http://www.usfirst.org/frc/map/FMPro...-max=all&-find

and i noticed that 168, and 147 aren't on it.

are they not competing or did they just not get in to the regional?

According to this list, they haven't registered for the upcoming season yet...

I am very much hoping I can have a team started in time to make it on that list.

it isn't that shocking to see some teams go....the statistics on Florida teams are much more freightening than one would like to believe....statistically we were only supposed to have a net loss of 4 teams this year....unfortunately the hurricanes may have affected the teams more adversely than I originally thought....

Florida teams registered Only 27....hopefully that will come up a bunch

With the Florida Regional full - here's some things I take away:

1) Only 35 slots versus 41 in attendance last year.

2) 24 teams returning, 11 new teams, 17 not returning

3) The entire 2004 Florida Regional Finalist Alliance (233, 311, 1144) not returning

4) The entire 2004 Florida Regional Champions Alliance (61, 386, 945) is returning to defend their title (Thanks for making the long haul Mike Norton)

5) 342/343 coming again (woohoo! Missed you guys last year) plus Cutting Edge returning - South Carolina well represented

6) 10 teams from out of state, including California and Montana! Cool!

Looks like a great event

Yes, it's a lot of fun going to UCF. I mean a 26.5hr bus ride is so awsome with all your friends on it. To bad since I graduated I have to fly down =(. Hopefully we will have the same luck as we did last year. UCF is definatly the best regional out there!

Less teams is a good thing....at least for parking. The big parking lot to the left of the arena is no more, they are building somthing there, i hear housing, so now the majority of people are going to have to park in the garages across the street.

[Barry Bonzack]

It is December 5 and 1604 is still only on the waitlist for UCF. Should I be getting worried? I know that three teams have made it into the regional since this thread has opened (each with their own legitimate reasons for being allowed in I'm sure), but I'm starting to get concerned.

I am fairly sure it is the new arena....

[Andrew Rudolph]

I have heard lots of rumors as to what it is, I will ask around some more. But another side effect of the construction is that the back area where the tent was is used for storage right now. This means there will be no tent there, I have heard that they are putting all of the pits inside this year from various sources going back to the end of last years reagional. This is why there are less teams this year. Luckily, you can still get to that back area to unload pit equipment and whatnot.

you are correct about everyone being inside, but by 2007 that construction will be complete and there will be a new much larger arena according to my knowledge. i guess come 2007 we will know if i'm right
