Re: Georgia Districts confirmed for 2016!

Registration as of 10/14/15:

Columbus (Week 2): 29/32
Albany (Week 3): 11/32
Dalton (Week 3): 20/32
Kennesaw (Week 6): 32/32

I think we have an interesting scenario here, one that I don't ever recall happening before. Both Dalton and Albany do not have the 24 teams necessary to run a standard event, and Albany is especially low. It is also an interesting point to note that Dalton has just enough remaining open spots. It is possible that, after third event registration, Dalton reaches 24 teams, but I find it highly unlikely that Albany will more than double its team count.

What would GeorgiaFIRST do to resolve this issue? Combine the Dalton and Albany events? Scratch the Albany event and allow the teams who signed up for Albany sign up for another event? Run the event with the low number of teams? Or something else?

Has this ever happened before and I just don't know about it?

Precedent exists for an event running with very few teams. The 2008 Brazil Regional ran with only 13 teams competing, where the elimination bracket consisted of just 4 alliances. Ultimately, GA FIRST might incentivize teams to sign up for a 3rd district event and the team numbers for both the week 3 events might go up. We just have to wait and see.
