Some would say we should count our blessings that we at least have one pair of events on different weeks that aren't on a Sunday.

Guess which events 1519 will be attending?

If you guys need any logistics help this year when traveling to Maine let us know. The Nuts & Bolts have been going there for the past three years but decided to try Rhode Island this year instead. We would be happy to pass on any contacts we can.

So, District events are temporarily closed out from 9am to noon today when they will reopen for both Regional and District initial registration and we get to see what the Regional rush looks like.

District registration was down this morning to about a new team every 20 minutes or so. The District component after noon today should have an inconsequential impact on the Regional crush.

878 District teams are registered for specific events.
29 rookie teams ~3.3%
849 veteran teams (including several 'new' veterans - spinoffs or sister teams - yes an all-girls team has a sister boys team now
Only two events reached the initial capacity cap.

98 - CHS (11.2%)
203 - FIM (23.1%)
45 - PCH (5.1%)
43 - IN (4.9%)
0 - ISR (events haven't been set yet) (0%)
96 - MAR (10.9%)
154 - NE (17.5%)
44 - NC (5.0%)
119 - ONT (13.6%)
76 - PNW (8.7%)

Are 6238 to 6242 perhaps teams who registered and received rookie team numbers last year, but did not compete? 6237 is a 2016 rookie.

[Mark McLeod]

6238 is considered a veteran team by FIRST's Rookie criteria and was given a number from last season (2016) to reflect their veteran status.
They aren't eligible for rookie awards in this 2017 season, even though as a team they may be playing for the first time.

You'll sometimes notice me calling these types of teams "new veterans".
There are new veterans with even lower team numbers. e.g., 747.

Forgive me - what do the percentages represent? At first I thought they meant portions of the total registered teams, but their sum is only 90%.

They were supposed to be. I'll look for my error and correct it.

Thanks Jon!

When each FiM team has registered for its home event, three of those events will be in single-digit territory: Centerline, Midland, and Traverse City. Here is a list of FiM events, with the number of teams assigned to each as their home.

Ann Arbor	25
Centerline	34
Escanaba	18
Gull Lake	17
Howell		9
Kentwood	21
Kettering*	41
Lakeview	16
Lansing		8
Livonia		20
LSSU		13
Marysville	16
Midland		34
Southfield	23
St. Joseph	16
Traverse City	32
Troy		16
Waterford	18
West Michigan	26
Woodhaven	15

*Kettering hosts two district competitions.

The list above includes 411 veterans and 7 pre-identified rookies. Based on the last few years, we should expect a few veterans will not return, and many more rookies will be added. FiM may need to add an event or two. We are already up to four events in some weeks; e.g., Week 2 has Ann Arbor, Centerline, Kettering #2, and St. Joseph.

Thanks Richard, the insight is much appreciated!

Mine crashed after hitting Register.. oh well
9 slots left at LI when it went.

Districts have nothin' on Regional clickers

At least even though CD is slow, I'm not locked out of editing posts this time around

[Drakxii]

Another way to look district teams, this is the percent teams of teams have signed up so far per district compared to the total number of teams that signed up last year in that district.

98 - CHS (74.2%)
203 - FIM (49.4%)
45 - PCH (69.2%)
43 - IN (87.8%)
96 - MAR (79.3%)
154 - NE (85.0%)
44 - NC (84.6%)
76 - PNW (48.1%)
