Re: Registration 2016

FYI: I didn't see it posted anywhere here, but it's officially listed on my.usfirst.org/myarea/index.lasso, Gull Lake has switched weekends from Week 2 to Week 3.

I saw that, but wonder if Gull Lake is just being cancelled, as it also show zero teams registered, and zero capacity.
(Edit based on team count they still need 19 districts of 40 teams)

Re: Registration 2016

Howdy! To clarify any confusion, the Gull Lake event is only changing venue. The event will be during Week 2 over March 10th, 11th and 12th.

The event is now identified as the Lakeview Event. The new venue is Lakeview High School, which is only about 15 miles down the road in Battle Creek. As co-host of this event, I am excited to invite all of you to a fantastic venue. We (4327) are co-hosting with the Gull Lake team (4381) who did a great job hosting these past several years.

TL;DR Gull Lake event now Lakeview event in Battle Creek. Still Week 2. Carry on.

Re: Registration 2016

So I see that most district events get initially capped at 30 and they save space for rookies and then it becomes a wait list.

My question is how many teams do they allow total? Is it different based on the venue?

Re: Registration 2016

Typically, District events shoot for 40 teams.
It's a number that evenly divides by 12 matches per team and generally fits into the smaller venues used.
40 teams * 12 matches per team /6 teams playing per match = 80 match event
80 Qual matches ~= 9.5 hours of play.

Some venues might be smaller, because they may not have enough space for spectators or pits.

Events can always add that extra rookie or veteran to accommodate special circumstances.
You can see last year's district event totals here.

The list of teams in Michigan indicates there are 396 teams with a permanent number (which I think means that many are signed up for an event) and 25 with a temporary number. So, where is event #20 going to be?

396 teams * 2 plays / (40 teams/event) = 19.8 events.

It all depends on the district and sometimes the event. For example this year the PNW events are 36 teams while last season is was 32 teams. Other areas have 40 team events. This year the PNW only reserved 4 spots but other areas reserved up to 10 spots.

Note this season there will only be 9 PNW events while last year there were 10. Many of the venues were selected on the basis of being able to accommodate 40 teams.

The math is even easier than that.

12 matches per team / 6 teams per match = 2

So the number of matches is twice the number of teams, no matter how many teams there are. And never any surrogates.

396 teams * 2 plays / (40 teams/event) = 19.8 events.
And assuming all of those temporary numbers become actual teams, Michigan will actually need 21 (maybe even 22) events. If my math is correct.

Re: Registration 2016

Michigan currently has 363 teams registered for event(s).
So right now it requires 19 events and has room for only 17 more teams.

Last season Michigan ended with 345 teams.
At this time last year Michigan had 326 teams registered.
So, 19 more teams or not quite 6%.

If growth from this point in time were the same as last year, that would produce ~385 teams needing 20 events to house (plus room for 15 additional teams on top of that).

Re: Registration 2016

Fun fact about 2016 FiM teams:
over half of all FiM FRC teams have existed less than 4 years. Yep, more than 50% of current FiM did not exist when this year's seniors were freshmen (currently 185+).
