Is that a typical year-over-year increase or is it a big enough change to merit notice?

It's not outstanding mostly because last year's registration had an unusual lag (it took a big jump later) . That makes this season look like a larger gain than it really is historically.

Here are the registration numbers for the mid-point /final and gains over the prior year as on noon on the 29th day of Registration (this year's 2nd event opening).

Season - # reg teams - midpt gain - final # ---- final gain
2012 ------ 1863 ----- 15.4%
2011 ------ 1615 ------ 6.1% -------- 2065 ----- 14.2%
2010 ------ 1522 ------ 7.7% -------- 1808 ------ 7.8%
2009 ------ 1413 ----- 13.5% -------- 1677 ----- 11.7%
2008 ------ 1245 ----- 26.7% -------- 1501 ----- 15.4%
2007 ------- 983 ----- 24.4% -------- 1301 ----- 14.8%
