Registration 2015

[MooreteP]

I am surprised that the Pioneer Valley event in the New England District is so undersubscribed.

This is an outstanding venue in a cool small city.

Compared to events that are held in high schools, this venue is a great space that can handle many teams with aplomb.

I am hoping that more teams will choose this as their third district.
If not, MAR, FiM, and Indiana are welcome. (PNW, a long ride )
A great travel "regional".
The airport (BDL) is close and there are many hotels right next to the venue.

Inter-districts, let's make this like the old days. Miscegenation rocks!

16 District events were taken to waitlist status today, so now 23 District events are waitlisted.

Waitlisted events/total events:
11/16 - MI
1/3 - IN
2/7 - MAR
4/10 - NE
5/9 - PNW

Google Spreadsheet of Michigan registration stats is here.

I update manually around once per day, so exact numbers may be a little bit out of sync.

Feel free to PM me with suggestions for information and/or presentation (or post, but a PM will help minimize thread clutter).

Great - now that rhyme's going to be stuck in my head the rest of the day.

Team 135 is considering trying to attend a week 1 FiM District Event. Do you MI teams think there will be any slots open at either week 1 event once the "other district" registration opens?

In all honesty I would guess no. There's only 10 and 11 spots left at Howell and Southfield, respectively. However there is always a chance.

Also since there's talk (per an earlier post) of adding another event Week 2, that could lead to some available spots that week if your scheduling allows for a trip to Michigan then.

I would recommend coming to a week 2

Side note: I have noticed that the listed capacity is down from what some of them ended up being last year, so they could always bump up the number of teams aloud in.

Mark, could you make an estimate (based on historical trends) how many teams 2015 will shake out to have? Alternatively, is your data available in non-chart form?

[Mark McLeod]

If this year follows last year and the year before at this particular date, then that'd extrapolate into a team total of 2860 for this year, but registration shows up a little differently this year because of the longer waitlists hiding teams a bit more than usual.
If overall growth is the same as last year, then that'd be about 2903 total teams for this year.

The daily registration tally is available at:
Open Registration Year-to-Year Comparison
It's only updated every once in a while for the current registration period.

Note that the dates in the chart have been normalized to bring registration schedule openings/closings differences over the years into alignment for comparison purposes.
The vertical markers represent the opening of registration for: 2nd District, 2nd Regional, Unrestricted Regional, Closing, and Kickoff.

Thank you again for organizing FRC data Mark, it serves as another reminder that Texas is being left behind in the FRC registration curves. I've discussed Texas registration in 2014 and i will jump into it again for Texas 2015.

Minnesota is very interesting as the 21st most populous state but #3 in FRC teams!

Any idea where the new event might be held if it happens?

Reached 2400 teams

If I were to guess I'd say either the middle or west side of Michigan, considering the other week two events are on the east side of the state.
