Event Registrations and TheBlueAlliance

For an example, note that TBA says 125 and 151 are still registered for Greater Boston, and while they may indeed choose it as a 3rd event, they are not currently registered teams.

TBA pulls data from FIRST once every 24 hours. In the case you specified, FIRST does indeed list 125 and 151 as registered for 2017mabos, which explains why TBA is showing it.

You can see that these two pages have the same team list:
https://frc-events.firstinspires.org/2017/MABOS (which is populated by the same data source TBA draws from) and https://www.thebluealliance.com/event/2017mabos

But the old-style page from FIRST doesn't have those two teams in question listed:
