Generally FIRST HQ likes putting gaps in the numbers like that for future use. The best example I can cite off hand is when 47 and 61?? merged to form Wings of Fire (Team 51). Note that even though the merge was completed in the past four years, the new team still has a really low number.

There is more information somewhere on the FIRST website, but I cannot seem to find it.

There are examples of new teams getting low numbers this year:

• 193 in Flanders, NJ (a new second team at Mt. Olive High School- also has team 11)
• 1786 in Lubbock, TX (looks like a split off from team 1817)
• 2451 in St. Charles, IL (changed their number from 2949)

Cool Mark. Thanks, as always.

Am I the only one who is seeing a distinct lack of teams in New Your State north of the New Jersey border? I mean, Rockland & Orange counties are quite heavily populated, but not a single team. I wonder why?

Waterloo has reached Initial Capacity.
A second Australian team registered for Hawaii late last night and Saskatchewan has been heard from.

There have never been teams in that area, but I don't know why not.
This is a snapshot of all the NY FRC teams there have ever been, and it's pretty empty there.

Silicon Valley has 118 and 148 attending. Those are gonna be some exciting elimination matches.

[MrTechCenter]

Plenty of room in CVR though! And 568 is showing some Sacramento love! Can't wait to meet 'em!

[Mark McLeod]

More than 1400 teams registered now, almost a week ahead of last year.
(This doesn't count teams that are unreported while pending (estimated to be ~39) on the waitlists (waitpools might be a more accurate term, since no order is assumed) of the unusually large number of oversubscribed events)

89 new teams (3 aren't considered rookies)
Rookie team generation:

• (8) Arkansas is ahead
• (6) Michigan & Washington tie
• (5) Tennessee, Pennsylvania & Georgia tie

California is leading with 130 registered teams
Michigan & NY are next at 102 and 93 respectively.

I completely did a double take when I saw this. It's going to be a fun week 6 regional, with so many powerhouses attending. 254 might have to watch their back for once, considering that they have won 11 out of 12 of the regionals at SV.

Fingers crossed for some Peachtree spots to linger to second event registration! I know a lot of members of Team Columbia have their eye on it.

Mark, where are we as compared to last year and how many total teams were there last year?

Mark, Would it be time consuming to add the capacity of each of those to your list?
And the week.
Just ruminating....

Total 2012 teams: 2339

We're at 1415 now vs the 2012 total at this time of 1143 teams.
That's 5 days ahead of last season or a ~24% gain.
