Registration 2013

[Mark McLeod]

The team list dropped about 15 teams over the weekend.
There are now 2324 teams playing this season.

Correction, the new Beta Team list shows 2324 teams, but the FIRST database still has 2339 teams listed. I think I'll go with the database and take a look at what teams aren't showning up on the new Beta.
P.S. the Beta site seems to be built from older team/event lists. There are teams listed on it who aren't playing, and teams who are playing who aren't listed.

FIRST has a new Beta Teams & Events page
Positives:

• Lists team nicknames
• Searches for teams within x miles of a zipcode

Negatives:

• Does not list the team name any longer
• Now limited to listing 25 teams per page
• Team count seems 15 teams short

I think it's taken from some other database, not an earlier list (unless it was last year's list). We show up as registered for Smoky Mountain - we were waitlisted there but cleared Bayou first so we never showed up as attending (TIMS still has a line item for SMR for us, dropped and unpaid).

When I looked two days ago, DC showed a Turkish, an Israeli, and two Brazilian teams attending. Today it shows one Israeli and one Brazilian. It is a Beta.

What is the max number of teams that the championship event can hold?

This will be interesting to watch, because this year, I believe there are over 400 available merit-based or pre-qualified bids for CMP, so we may see some push there.

However, I'm sure there is a statistic available on % of teams who accept bids that would probably mean only 370 or some similar number of those slots are filled.

[brrian27]

So, in the hypothetical case of 370 registering, about 30 other teams would get in on the wait list?

[Mark McLeod]

Hypothetically speaking, that's the idea.
Just remember that FIRST has changed the # of teams admitted to Championship over the year's, so no guarantees on the total number that will be admitted.

Currently 245 teams are registered for Championship.
