Thanks! Could you do a conditional format highlight on space available to make 0 red and less than 10 yellow (or whatever colors you like best)?

You can use an frclinks.com short URL of the form frclinks.com/e/[eventcode] to easily access the registered team list for each event.

Cool, I'll throw those up in a bit.

There are teams that just shoot themselves in the foot, you mean. For example, 2169 registered for Northern Lights today... that gives them a very low chance of getting into one of the Minneapolis events for second event registration, as Minneapolis fills (final capacity) before Duluth! If a veteran team from the cities waits until second event registration to register for the local regional, all bets are off.

My contacts say that several teams did try to get in to 10k Lakes also. If my information is correct, there are likely 4 rookie Chinese teams on the wait list at 10k Lakes and another rookie on the wait list at North Star. However, the other rookie team that I was told would try to register at North Star is showing up on the team list at New York City.

The goal was to have the Chinese teams join the four US based teams that were at the scrimmage in Shenzhen in August. So, there are 4 teams at the Las Vegas Regional with 987, 5 teams currently showing at the New York City Regional with 694, one team planning on a Canadian Regional, and one team that is still making plans. They checked into having some teams join 1595, but since they are in the PNW district, that did not work out.

Except it is not yet been determined if it will be a Sat-Sun event. It clearly states now that it may be a Fri-Sat or Sat-Sun event.

The new location will be in the Indianapolis area and dates will either
be February 26 – 28, 2015 or February 27 - March 1, 2015. A

Team 4301 is locked into the Dallas regional, and ready for a great time during our first year attending two regionals!

On the other hand, us Northern Indiana teams are going to be flooding into Purdue and Kokomo. Don't expect to see 135 in Indy (until State CMP of course).

4454 is registered for Hatboro-Horsham!

Looking forward to my first week 1 event with a team!

I don't disagree that some teams can "shoot themselves in the foot", but there are still many teams that just can't get into the Minneapolis regional. For 2014, I count seven metro area (within ~1 hour of Minneapolis) rookie/second year teams that attended a Duluth event instead of a Minneapolis event:
4511
4663
4693
5278
5290
5299
5340
I doubt that very many of them just really wanted to get out of the cities. Additionally, I'm sure that there are nearby veteran teams that try to get in but just can't.

Edit: trouble counting

Oh my. Dallas is quite a scary Week 1 regional.

I fully expect to see you guys in the goat pen.

Looks like last year it took ~18 hours to reach the 1600 team point.
