97 rookies have signed up for an event.

Last year, 1800 teams were registered by 12:55pm on 30 Sep; if my notes are correct. So it looks like registration is running 4 days ahead of last year.

I logged in around 11:57 eastern and was able to register. Did it open early, or are my clocks slow?

It opened on time according to NIST & USNO
You can check your clocks against that.

Were you using the school clocks, since they are usually 5 minutes off.

Here's a graph comparing the last 3 registrations with this year.
Not quite as big a gap as it has been in the past.

Forgot to mention that Long Island, Kansas City and San Diego are all at initial capacity and now accumulating waitlists.

On Sunday, Midwest joined them.

I'm still interested in seeing a page with all the regionals, capacities, and open spots, like FIRST had years ago before they redid the website.

It would also be nice if they allowed you to search by region/district. Being in a district with 6 states requires a lot of clicking to get information on our area for teams and events. If there is an easier way its not easy to find.

Interesting information! For the veteran teams, can you post what percentage of the final 2014 numbers the current team count by rookie year represents?

100% of registered 2015 teams have registered. So the rookies win as well, too, right?
