Re: Registration 2013

Don't quote me on this but I heard Australia established or is establishing another team. I tried looking but I couldn't find where I first saw it.

Re: Registration 2013

In the category of most unloved Regionals, or events that need to be shown some love come 2nd Regional registration this week...
(This uses Initial Capacity values and cutoff events that have fewer than 20 slots open)


Filled- Current - Capacity --- Regional ------------------ Week
11.1% ------ 4 ----- 36 ----- Central Valley Regional ---------- 1
16.0% ------ 8 ----- 50 ----- Las Vegas Regional -------------- 6
18.2% ------ 8 ----- 44 ----- Hub City Regional ---------------- 1
18.5% ----- 10 ----- 54 ----- Greater Toronto West Regional - 5
21.1% ------ 8 ----- 38 ----- Pine Tree Regional --------------- 6
23.7% ------ 9 ----- 38 ----- Spokane Regional ---------------- 6
25.0% ----- 13 ----- 52 ----- Buckeye Regional ---------------- 5
33.3% ----- 18 ----- 54 ----- South Florida Regional ---------- 5
35.0% ----- 14 ----- 40 ----- Inland Empire Regional --------- 5
37.5% ----- 12 ----- 32 ----- Greater Toronto East Regional -- 2
40.7% ----- 22 ----- 54 ----- Wisconsin Regional -------------- 4
40.7% ----- 22 ----- 54 ----- Chesapeake Regional ------------ 7
41.7% ----- 20 ----- 48 ----- Queen City Regional ------------- 4
44.7% ----- 17 ----- 38 ----- Western Canadian FRC Regional - 6
46.7% ----- 21 ----- 45 ----- Israel Regional ------------------- 2
47.4% ----- 18 ----- 38 ----- Crossroads Regional ------------- 6
47.6% ----- 20 ----- 42 ----- Central Washington Regional ---- 4
51.9% ----- 28 ----- 54 ----- Lone Star Regional --------------- 2
56.0% ----- 28 ----- 50 ----- Bayou Regional ------------------- 4
57.4% ----- 31 ----- 54 ----- Washington DC Regional --------- 5
59.3% ----- 32 ----- 54 ----- Alamo Regional ------------------- 5


One third of Regionals (the overly lovable ones) are waitlisted.
One half of Districts are so loved.
Only two districts have double digit vacancies (10 each)

P.S.
We now have more teams registered than competed in 2011.
209 new teams
21% of last season's teams are still missing (494 teams). Expect that to at least be cut in half.

As of today, Australia has 4 new teams, making a total of 5 registered! It has taken a while, but this is great news. I'm hoping for a couple more even this season.

I wouldn't expect one this year by any means... But maybe next year or two years from now! Hell, I'd love to travel to Australia for a regional, I would be signing up to volunteer at it right away!

Re: Registration 2013

I seem to recall mention of it being planned for the '14 or '15 season.

Maybe I'm wrong though.

I'm astounded we have a West Canada one this year. 4334 really pushed hard for it. Way to go guys. From 1992 to 2012, there were a grand total of 3 teams to my knowledge from Canadian provinces west of Ontario. They were:

1346 Trobotics, from Vancouver, Rookies in 2004, Defunct after 2010.
1482 The Ghosts, from Calgary, Rookies in 2004
4334 Alberta Tech Alliance, from Calgary, Rookies in 2012.

Now, for 2013, there's a bunch of Western Canada rookies to help fill the new regional, hailing from BC, SK, and AB.

  • 1870 Red Deer, last played 2008
  • 2273 Surrey, last played 2008
P.S.
2100 teams (vs. 1783 this same time last year)
Almost 18% growth at this point.

Re: Registration 2013

Hm.

Looks like I just missed 1486,1570, and 1870 since they all played in Toronto at least once.

2273 I understand how I missed, since they only played in the PNW region, where I admittedly don't pay as much attention.

Regardless, to spawn a new event in a region with 2 active and 5 inactive teams, in such a short time is impressive.

We're waitlisted for our event, so we're not showing up in the "Who's in your area" for 2013. Would we (and teams like us) be part of that Martians-many teams?

Yes, I'm including you on the Boilermaker waitlist, and teams like you on other waitlists, in that number of missing.
We have ~10 teams hidden here on the Long Island waitlist that I know of too who aren't yet counted.

There are 80 teams total on waitlists (derived from the FRC Blog), probably all returning veteran teams, since rookies tend to be passed right through.
If so, then there are 383 teams currently missing from last season. That's about 16%.
I expect that of those missing teams 140-160 will still show up.

Yes, lots of teams from the west have a long history of flying back east for events. Here's hoping that we'll see a few teams fly out west for a change!

We were told that although 4 new Australia rookie teams have registered, it may only be 3 with the 1 veteran 3132 for this season.

If Australia ever has a new regional, you can be sure at least 1 Hawaii team will be there.

Looks like Australia might become the next Israel. Good to see FRC becoming established in new areas.
