And 16 minutes into the registration process, BAE is full. *This* is why I am so grateful that we made it in. Team 1729 is looking forward to a great competition; we're happy you're going to be there along with a many other terrific teams!

We were waitlisted last year and only got in because our rookie team's school closed.

Great to see the Hawaiian kids coming to boiler.

I was very surprised by that too! Weren't their 40 open slots in previous years with the last 8-12 being filled by waitlisted/BAE teams?

Hopefuly GSR will be its normal, large self this year!

I believe this year the registration is now more like regionals for all district participating teams. There is 1st and 2nd district registration so that every team can at least attend their home district before selection of another district.

Kind of surprised that only 1134 teams have registered for a regional at this time (over 1000 less teams then the total number of teams last year), do teams usually wait to sign up for their first regional?

Probably leaving some spots for when 2nd event registration opens as well? Just a guess. Lots of regionals do this.
