The number of teams in China is pretty impressive! How much did they have last year?

And why is Canada splitted?

Mexico is pretty impressive. They have 7 rookie teams at the Mexico City regional. All are from Mexico.

Chinese teams competed in various regionals, including Las Vegas, Hawaii, Australia, New York and a few more last year as well as Champs as I recall.

Hey. I noticed on the FIRST website that Georgia districts are abbreviated PCH. So, FiM stands for FIRST in Michigan and IN stands for Indiana so I was expected Georgia to be like FiG or GA. Any ideas on what PCH stands for? Could it be Peach?

Peachtree, just like CHS stands for Cheese, I mean Chesapeake.

Last year China had 23 teams.
I split Canada just to show which provinces have the most growth.

[Jared Russell]

It is amazing that already China has the third highest number of registered teams (granted, Israel still has many more yet to show up, but still...)

I wonder how long it will be until China surpasses Canada. 2018?

That's plausible but they'd need a second regional and probably a third assuming each team goes to 1 regional and each regional holds 60 teams. How many Canada teams are there in all? I'm assuming around 150.

Y'know, Mark did post the current registration numbers. Canada currently has 139 if you add the three provinces together.

And multiple regionals can be arranged, I'm sure. It was "only" 17 FRC seasons ago that CA had their first regional. The second followed two seasons later. The third took 3-4 years as I recall. The fourth followed another 3-4 years later. And another one came a long about the same amount of time later... but the last couple additions didn't take quite that long. It just takes a little time...

it only shows registered teams! there was around 42 teams from QC last year and only 26 signed up for their first regional

[Mark McLeod]

Orlando & Silicon Valley booked up yesterday.

There were 197 Canadian teams last season.
As can be seen by the first weekend comparison,
in general, QC is slower signing up this year, while ON is quicker, and they offset each other for a Canadian registration pace that's pretty normal.
Canada is at ~ 76% of last year's final count.
All FRC is at ~ 72% of last year's final count.

2100 teams have registered.
130 rookies

[Mark McLeod]

Registration numbers finally surpassed last season at this same time.
2200 teams
