There are already 141 teams registered for CMP? How are there so many?

Washington State double-regional team shuffle. Teams came off the registered list for a few days as they evened out the rookies/veterans between the fields.

Actually a few teams have already declined and the number has dropped to 138. I just spoke to a team leader about their withdrawal last night as they were dropping a broken Classmate off at my house.

There was an open sign-up for 141 spare Championship slots in October as there has been every year. They went really fast though.
There are fewer offered each year-last year FIRST offered 149 open slots, the year before it was 175.

I do have numbers for team losses after registration closes, however, the interesting thing is that the number of teams is going to continue to rise through the next couple of weeks. FIRST seems to be forgiving with teams on the edge. You can see that in this plot posted last year.

I'll post a current year plot tomorrow.

Mark, There may still be some fluctuation in new teams over the next week or so. I know that FIRST is still working with some rookies in our region to get them on-board.

[Mark McLeod]

Here's this season's registration chart.

You can see the teams that have been added since Registration officially closed peeking out to the right of the deadline.
These are all due to 5 more rookies that have appeared.

P.S.
17 more teams have now shown up since Registration closed.
I should note that they aren't all going to be rookies that show up late. Vets are still appearing too.
Teams are continuing to drop out as well.

FiM and MAR registration for 3rd events remains open until December 9.
Michigan has added the most rookies in the past two days (10).

Does anyone know when we should expect to see the waitlist for events processed? I'm interested in DC...

[Mark McLeod]

Most waitlists got moved by mid-December last year, but DC was an exception.
DC didn't clear until around New Year's.

[Andrew Schuetze]

Something close to 400 FTC & FRC teams in Texas The list of non-returning teams has dwindled but still not a number that we all would like to see. Most likely a great deal of work has been put in by the three Regional Directors, the now four FTC Affilate Partners, and the now two FIRST Senior Mentors and countless other members of Texas FIRST teams.

We could also be experiencing some matriculation of FLL teams which has also skyrocketed in Texas in the last three years.

Argh. All I want for Christmas ...

Michigan rookies are showing up in droves finally.
The West Michigan District event is the first to be at full capacity.
FiM now has 189 teams showing, but only slots for 180...where will the next District event be? "Purchasing" spare slots from nearby Regionals and accrediting them for FiM, or an undersized District, or more recruiting to fill a new District?

Since (regular) registration closed there have been rookies added from:

• 12 MI
• 3 CO
• 2 Ontario
• 2 TX
• 8 other singletons

At least now new teams only get added during Manchester business hours, instead of all hours of the night in this globe spanning competition.

DC will clear the list much earlier this year. There were certain circumstances last year that forced the list to be cleared later. Those circumstances have been prevented this year.

[Mark McLeod]

There has also been some room opened up at DC by teams dropping out this year.

Could we also see teams lost per region?

I'm not sure I know what you're asking for.
How does that differ from "Missing"?

It doesnt... I misread the column labels. Totally read the missing value as rookies. I'll go back to my rock now.
