It's not time consuming, because I maintain that information for my own use. I actually take time to cut that out before I post.

I can add the max capacity with the caveat that my total capacity can only be considered, at best, an outsiders estimate.
The total capacity of an event is at the sole discretion of the Regional Director. So I can use the numbers from last season if the venue hasn't changed, or the Initial Capacity +10 or 12. But circumstances and considerations that I can't possibly know about can make those numbers unreliable.

P.S.
Is what James posted what you are looking for?

Re: Registration 2013

St. Louis, Phoenix, & Midwest also reached initial capacity this morning.
15.5% of Regionals are at the "waitpool"* stage.

And we have over 1500 teams registered now.
64% of last year's max teams.

New category, events at Initial Capacity who subsequently add more teams:
  • (+2) BAE (added a rookie and a veteran team)
  • (+1) Boilermaker
  • (+6) Pittsburgh
  • (+2) Seattle
  • (+2) Silicon Valley
* Waitlist is misleading, since it isn't an ordered list, so I made up a new term, waitpool, to refer to the group of teams hoping for a released spot.

Re: Registration 2013

Oh wow, I didn't realize that GSR was such a small capacity this year - we were hoping to maybe be able to slide in their for our second registration choice, but maybe not now. We're already registered for WPI in week 2, and I wasn't really looking forward to doing regionals back to back (even if one of them is insanely local and I get to sleep at home), but if that's the way it worked out, then so be it.

Glad to see that Boston still has some capacity, so fingers crossed by the time that second regional registration rolls around, slots are still available since we have our eye on it.

It's going to be tough to beat out the competition to register! With 5 new rookie teams, and hopefully all of the teams from last year, We're looking at a 60+ team regional again, and some teams like 1311 and 1002 (who have this regional in their backyard) haven't registered yet.

Re: Registration 2013

1311 is registered for an out of town event for their primary regional. Smokey Mountains. We will be pursuing Chairman's there.

Georgia is having explosive FRC growth. Last year produced 18 new teams and they are all back for this year. Even though 5 or so rookies have registered this year that number may double.

Where will 1311's second regional be ? We do not know. Peachtree is going to be extremely tight. We may have to travel a long way to somewhere ? And things happening at the 'IC' will be really tough....

Where are the new regionals ? I wish we had the money, Hawaii would be nice. I'm digging that Luau....

EDIT: Of the 18 rookie teams in Georgia last year, 16 are returning.

Re: Registration 2013

Has anyone been able to determine which of the new Regionals will be NASA-funded, if any?

I see the application process opens tomorrow (Oct. 3) so I guess we'll find out then.

i'm sure there are more rookies coming up, and they just need funding to pay.

As for regional ideas, Bayou isn't too bad of a drive, and if you want to take the week 1 gamble (I always see week 1's as gambles. you are part of the teams that decide the fate of the game) and go to Palmetto.

Re: Registration 2013

With the growth of FRC in the south, I forsee FIRST doing a new regional next year possibly in the panhandle of Florida or in Jacksonville. This would probably be a big ticket regional because you could pull teams from Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina, and Florida.

IIRC, the inaugural Alamo Regional in 2011 was Week 1. Also, Smoky Mountains last year.

Actually smoky mountains began as a week 5 regional.

I think 2003 Sacremento & 2005 Finger Lakes were both rookies and 1st week events.
