Do you have the #'s for 2nd/3rd districts on a region-by-region basis?

FIM: Any news on wait listed teams?

I haven't heard anything about waitlists, but I was unable to find the grant recipients until this morning. Our financial director changed jobs just after our application went in, so it is nice to know for sure that we got it.

The FIRST team database appears to have changed how access is done. Maybe as a step in the open API effort. It happened between 6 & 7pm yesterday.
Sessions no longer time out.
Oddly enough some counts are now accurate to six decimal places, so we should expect fractional teams in the future, e.g.,

• Open Capacity 0.000000
• Teams in All Areas (2924 found, 1 - 250.000000 displayed)

This also seems to have broken third party tools like Pat Fairbanks' frclinks and compwiztobe's event team totals.
At least until they adapt.

P.S.
All better now. Thanks guys!

Looks like we have a location for the Michigan State Championship...

DeltaPlex Arena
2500 Turner Ave NW
Grand Rapids, MI 48544
USA

It appears to be a sizable place.

Any guesses for final capacity?

About 4 500 fixed seats. Two fields are a definite possibility, if the convention halls are available for pits.

Also, here are some dimensions in the "arena racing" configuration of the main hall.

Two fields, 60 - 65 teams each? Seems doable, especially if they set it up much like Worlds....pits in the convention center, etc and so forth...

Will be interesting to see how it's handled...

Team 4592 is now registered for the Bayou Regional! We're going to our first out of state event.

[Mark McLeod]

A lot of FiM teams are being added to events this weekend.
I've counted 50 so far.

In preparation for 3rd District signup on Tuesday I presume.

[Tungrus]

Why are teams not able to switch their district event now? Somehow at least one team is taken out from wait list and moved to another event where other teams were wait listed.

Now that 3rd District Reg is open, do we have any stats on teams attending 3 districts, or better question do we have any verified cross district playing?

So far 7 NE teams have registered for 3 districts.
174 NE teams registered at 10 districts. More spots available.

We'll be looking forward to seeing you guys at the same 3 districts along with 4055.

The attached spreadsheet shows all NED events and teams registered. 10 teams so far have only registered for 1 district.

Right now, I see three teams signed up for all three Indiana district events.

Four of the 53 Indiana teams have yet to sign up for their second event.
