notice this too, hope its the 5th

We got into the page for Tech valley within the first ten seconds after noon, and it was already on waitlist. Since there were only 19 teams registered before today, I'm assuming it didn't fill up to 36 teams in those ten seconds, and that the capacity was still set to be low for now.

There were only 3 spots at Tech Valley when we tried to register and error'ed out, so the initial capacity wasn't increased.

So I assume it's currently set at 22 teams (19 in there before today plus the three open spots) so I would assume that the capacity increase should come soon?

There were seventeen spots open for Buckeye at noon. We got one of them at noon + 2s, at which point there were four. Then none at noon + 13 s.

Finger Lakes was our first registration, but I checked it at noon + 17 seconds just to see and it was full, too.

...there has to be a better way of doing this.

I guess with all of us in the Ohio area getting walled in by districts, there were only 3 options for teams who need to stay local, Miami Valley, Greater Pittsburgh, and Buckeye - and MV and P-burgh are on back-to-back weeks.

Another reason for Buckeye filling up is that with Pittsburgh, Finger Lakes, and Tech Valley on the same weekend, Buckeye is by far the best second event for Western New York teams. There are 13 New York teams currently signed up for Buckeye, with many of them signing up for Buckeye as their first event.

Reminder: All teams registering for Seven Rivers are automatically waitlisted. This is due to it being a Week 7 event and manual verification of location.

The FIRST API is back online.

And with that, both of the regionals that my team is registered for, (Central Illinois and Iowa) are filled to capacity.

Man lots of veteran Florida teams are choosing to go out of state as opposed to running back to back regionals.

Only 59. 233, 385, 1523, 1744, and 3653 are Florida teams registered for both with 4481 taking advantage of the back to back times to come over from the Netherlands.

It took me way longer than I am proud to admit to realize you were going by Most available space for a regional then at each district.

Hawaii will most definitely fill up.
With a great number of teams west of Hawaii from Asia, many international teams end up signing up to attend. We usually sign up for Hawaii last also.
Its been close to a 40 team event in recent years.
The other part is Hawaii teams are so laxed is signing up the minute its available.
