What are the biggest factors in that growth in your opinion?

A grant administered by the MI Department of Education to the tune of $3 million per year. Rookies get enough to cover registration plus some, and it decreases to 3+ year teams who get $2500. Also, it covers advancement to States and Worlds. So it helps rookies big time, but also helps out veterans (which a number of grants seem to lack).

This grant appeared and caused the 2014 and 2015 growth spike. Also, Gail Alpert is quite a force at getting new teams formed.

Looks great, thank you!

Could you include the 2-3 years before each region went to districts too? At least as important as the growth rate during districts is comparing it to the growth rate previous to the advent of districts in that region...
