From what I heard from RIT FIRST people, the team didn't have any teacher willing to step up and run the team this year.

There's a teacher willing to run the team but I don't think the school wants her running the team.

Picked up missing vet 4773 - Steel Horses

150 NY state teams now on event rosters.

I see NYTR has moved to 34 teams... but I apparently misplaced my snapshot from earlier... Anyone know who mystery team #34 is?

[Mark McLeod]

That happened back on Nov 5.

I can figure out who it was, but I have a team meeting tonight.

Kinda stinks a former national champion is no more.

There have been a few seasons that 73 has taken a year off to rebuild the team. I have no insight into what the issues are this year, but hopefully it's not the last time we've seen them.

The four missing Long Island teams (and another LI rookie) have been assigned to events.

73 ------- Rochester (school pulled the plug)
375 ------ Staten Island (coach may be retiring)
1396 ----- Staten Island
3053 ----- Queens Village
4093 ----- Orleans County
5433 ----- Webster (school closed)

Now that registration's settled down, I've crunched the numbers regarding how many events NY teams are playing:

Total Plays	Total	1 Play	2 Plays	3 Plays	% 1	% 2	% 3
2016		150	95	55	0	63.3%	36.7%	0.0%
2017		158	92	64	2	58.2%	40.5%	1.3%
% Change	5.3%	-3.2%	16.4%	-	-8.1%	10.5%	-
							
In-State Plays	Total	0 Plays	1 Play	2 Plays	% 0	% 1	% 2
2016		149	1	119	30	0.7%	79.9%	20.1%
2017		157	1	112	45	0.6%	71.3%	28.7%
% Change	5.4%	0.0%	-5.9%	50.0%	-5.1%	-10.7%	42.4%

While a lot of teams had some tough choice about which events to attend, with the TVR/FLR/GPR conflict and the NY regionals being weeks 3, 4, 5, and 6, it seems to have worked out. This year, 11 more teams will be competing at 2 or 3 regionals and 15 more teams will be attending two NY regionals.

"worked out"
Please never do this again, NY.
Also, which teams are attending three events?

Agreed. We were talking about going to two events this year, but once the dates were announced, that went the way of the dodo....
