He gets it from "Rookie year: 2002". I believe he's been actively collecting this data and saving it locally, not relying on an outside resource (Like FIRST) to provide the historical information.

Which will be the first District with a main language other than English?

Spanish might be the main language in California before they become a district.

I think we have a winner. Israel's official languages are Hebrew and Arabic, with Hebrew as the primary.

Doh!




I forgot Israel has already taken the plunge. Didn't see anything here about it for the last month or so, and Mark's list doesn't have Israel (yet) due to registration timing.

Yea, I was saving and comparing records for a few years before I found out others might be interested, too.

That stinks! I assumed 3360 would try to make the trip down to the Tech Valley Regional with 3990 at least.

When NE went districts, that's when the Tech Valley Regional started, as we could no longer go into New England from the Albany area. It's unfortunate that didn't happen with Montreal.

2468 = today's team count

Including:

• 13 resurrected veteran teams (the longest missing last played 6 years ago)
• 18 new "veteran" teams
• 156 rookie teams

27% of last season's teams (851) have not been heard from yet (not unusual).

Wow. That's somewhat startling. 1/4 of teams don't show up for initial registration opening. I never knew that.

Do you have any stats on percentage of last year's rookies that have not yet shown up for year 2?

~42% of 2nd year teams (last season's rookies) have not signed up for an event yet (167).

and in case you were going to ask ...

Last year at this time (given that this year's registration is a bit wonky)
~46% of 2nd year teams had not registered.

I think they are still slow starters.
My own local 2nd year team is still trying to get a new Alternate Contact & YPP in order to get registered.

Remember that between 9% and 6% will not return this season and that means <20% of teams that are actually planning to return haven't been heard from.
