Sac started in 2003, I just can't remember which week, but it must have been early, it was before SVR and LA that year. Sac was actually in sac in 2003 and 2004, it moved to UC Davis in 2005. 2003 in sac was crazy because they only had 27 teams and after your match you had about 15 minutes before you had to get back in the cue.

254's 2003 SAC Chairman's banner begs to differ, I can't vouch for the week though.

Edit: Doug beat me to it

Re: Registration 2013

More than 1600 teams now showing as registered (plus a guesstimated 40-50 hidden on waitlists). Last year only had 1307 teams showing (with a guesstimated waitlist of maybe 30 teams).

Last year's registration didn't reach 1600 until 8 days later.

Peachtree reached Initial Capacity.

More than 100 new teams.

I looked it up and SAC was in week 1 in 2003 (also confirmed DC in 2009).
So here's the list compiled from everyone's contributions of rookie regionals held the first week of competition:
  • 2003 SAC
  • 2005 Finger Lakes
  • 2009 DC
  • 2011 Alamo
  • 2013 Hub City

Sounds like Waterloo. I believe it was 2009 when it fell on the Ontario march break, and had 27 teams.

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.
Ed, bring 1311 to Inland Empire, week 5!

Amazing they would allow a regional with so few teams, I stand corrected. We have a blue banner from Sac in 2004, what a fun event at the Cal Expo Center.

At South Florida last year there was 42 of us and our time in between most of our matches was 10 minutes due to us being sorted into matches with only 2 matches in between several times. What I mean is we had match 14 and 17, 28 and 31, 40 and 43, and 70 and 73. It was not enjoyable to take your robot of the field and have field volunteers immediately say you have to line back up, especially when we always were blue one match and red the next. Still tons of fun was had by all

Re: Registration 2013

There have been repositionings as a few teams have withdrawn from some events and moved to others.
Maybe due to nerves as events fill up so quickly.

I'd guesstimate that at least two Regionals are now showing in the single digits of maximum venue capacity. At least one has already assigned 6 slots past what was listed for Initial Capacity. Of course, waitpools for each event may have already made the allocation of remaining spots moot, just waiting on potential rookies, then HQ and the RD's to assign the remaining slots to teams waiting in the wings.

22% of Regional Events are at Initial Capacity (last year it was 11%, 6 Regionals + 1 District at this time):
  1. Granite State (25) (week 1)
  2. Boilermaker (30+1) (week 3)
  3. Pittsburgh (30+6) (week 3)
  4. WPI (32) (week 2)
  5. LI (39) (week 7)
  6. Silicon Valley (42+2) (week 6)
  7. Oregon (54) (week 2)
  8. Seattle (54+1) (week 5)
  9. Waterloo (20) (week 4)
  10. St. Louis (26) (week 3)
  11. Phoenix (40) (week 4)
  12. Midwest (43+1) (week 6)
  13. Peachtree (46) (week 3)
Events with Initial openings reduced to single digits (last year there were 2 Regionals + 5 Districts by this time):
  • (4) Boston
  • (4) Smoky Mountains
  • (6) Los Angeles
  • (7) Orlando
  • (7) Finger Lakes
  • (7) Razorback
  • (7) MAR Hatboro-Horsham
  • (8) 10000 Lakes
  • (9) Montreal
P.S.
14 defunct veteran teams have resurfaced, the oldest having been away for 11 years (Hampton Bays High School here on Long Island).
36% of last year's teams have yet to re-register.
Really 26% are expected to show, since normally 10% of teams do not return the very next year.
Of course, it hasn't even been a week yet, so I'm just being impatient.

Re: Registration 2013

Mark:

I'd love to see your spreadsheet (or database) that tracks all this. That file must be worth its weight in gold.

Thanks for providing all this information for us.

Re: Registration 2013

It's electronic, so it's weight wouldn't bring much gold I'm sorry to say.
It's a mixture of spreadsheets and databases by this time. It's all in how you manipulate it. Some of the data is available in spreadsheet form on this page if you want to fiddle with it yourself (payments in gold accepted).

P.S.
Boston reached Initial Capacity (24% of all Regionals are now waitlisted)

Here's a snapshot of how this year's registration stands up against previous seasons.
Note: dates used for the x-axis have been normalized across the years and aren't 2012 dates.

Re: Registration 2013

1700 teams

I can post the resurrected vets list tomorrow.
I'll edit this post to add it here.

--------------------
Resurrected veteran teams
# --- yrs away --- Location

601 --- 11 --- Hampton Bays, NY
867 ---- 2 --- Arcadia, CA
981 ---- 2 --- Lebec, CA
1422 --- 7 --- Fresno, CA
1452 --- 3 --- Los Angeles, CA
1571 --- 2 --- Gresham, OR
1617 --- 3 --- Newark, NJ
2037 --- 3 --- Brunssum , Netherlands
2360 --- 3 --- Indianapolis, IN
2609 --- 2 --- Guelph, ON
3032 --- 4 --- Aracaju, SE Brazil
3368 --- 2 --- Mostar, Bosnia-Herzegovina
3684 --- 2 --- Seattle, WA
3829 --- 2 --- Soddy-Daisy, TN


This team registered, then disappeared. This might be because they switched to an event that was already at the waitlist stage.
668 ---- 2 --- San Jose, CA

----
These are the new veteran teams:
193 ---- Flanders, NJ
1790 --- Huntington Park, CA
2451 --- Saint Charles, IL (renumbered from 2949)
2685 --- Yonkers, NY

Estacado High School in Lubbock, TX originally registered as a new veteran team 1786 (split off from 1817), but has now been reassigned the rookie number 4570
