Registration 2015

[VioletElizabeth]

Sorry if this is a dumb question—but I can't find the Colombian team. Where are you getting this data? I tried searching on usfirst.org but Colombia wasn't on the list of countries I could look in.

5311 is not registered for any 2015 regional event, Violet, so they are not currently searchable.

Thank you.

Andrew Lawrence, I was aware that they were not registered (through http://www.usfirst.org/whats-going-o...rogramCode=FRC), I was curious to know who the other team was, as googling "Colombia FRC" got me only the Space Stars. (Sorry, I don't know how to quote multiple posts.)

For some reason, googling "FRC 5521" does get me to http://www.usfirst.org/whats-going-o...rogramCode=FRC, which seems inaccessible through any other means, as Colombia continues to be absent from the drop-down menu for countries in the search page. Is this the only way to reach this page?

PS My name is Elizabeth, not Violet. (I just like the color purple.)

Does ANYONE know why no one can sign up for a third district until December 11th? Actually District 3rd plays have a window of December 11th until December 30th. Given the fact that District teams have priority for extra slots over inter District teams... an inter District team might have to wait until after Christmas to know that they are going to be let in.

I don't understand why 3rd District Event registration is SIX WEEKS after open registration for regionals.(October 30)

Does anyone have any idea why this is? Was it this way last year too?

Just wondering

Perhaps they are waiting until after the payment deadline to make sure that no more rookie teams (or late registering veteran teams) pop up before they give those spots away? That's what I'd guess for FiM. The past two years they've ended up adding an event (or two) pretty late in the fall (or even not until build season started I think) so I'd guess that managing total available event spots and getting everybody assigned is rather time consuming, thus necessitating a much later time period for 3rd event registration. The waiting is kind of a bummer though.

How do we find out the team #, etc on the teams here who are not from the major player countries and thus not easily searchable on usfirst.org?

frclinks.frclinks.com/t, sort by location. Non-USA locations will be on the first two pages (of 250 teams). No countries appear after USA.

FRCLinks also supports search-by-area.

Does anyone know when FIM will announce wait listed teams?

In my experience it is announced almost too late to make other plans. You would be wise to have the coach for the team email Gail and find out where on the list you are. Any further down than three or four and it is best to look elsewhere. Otherwise you just have to wait and hope.

We definitely preferred knowing for a fact that we would drive a few hours further over simply hoping to get in to an event.

2500 teams now.

In regards to the FRC Blog post: Helping Rookie Teams

Here is a chart comparing rookie registration over the same period to date in 2013, 2014, and 2015.
Note some of the data is interpolated and that's the unnaturally straight parts.
The start day for each year was one day off of the year before, so that was normalized to a common start date (this year's).
2014 had an unusually high initial registration for rookies for some reason.
