Registration Open - How are we doing?

[Andy Brockway]

Numbers being skipped happen every year. There has not been teams 717 through 720 (or even higher) the last two years. Our team was the highest number in 2001.

Maybe teams sign up on TMS and then never follow through.

The lack of teams 717-720 was a "mistake" on FIRST's end. In 2002, registration started at 800 rather than 717. It went up to 999, and since the OI couldn't display more than three digits, they had to go back and start filling in other team numbers.

No need for Excel to eliminate the duplicates. FIRST does it for you.

Here is the live list for 2004:

Is this an officially linked list? I hope it is... maybe someone at FIRST finally decided an official full list was a good idea.

Sorry M. forgot to follow my own advice.

Not so! Team 782 was next us in 2002 in New Haven. There are also many more teams between 717 and 800.

If you read the rest of M's post, you'd see that they started at 800, then went back and filled in the teams between 720 and 800, because of technical limitations in the OI.

Officially linked list? This is the result of me asking the FIRST database the question we really wanted an answer to. Its official in the sense that its coming directly from the FIRST database. Really, all I did was lookup my post from last year and changed the year in the query to the server. Click on the smiley at the end of my last post if you don't understand what I mean.

Now that's a competition I'd like to see. Anyone know if there's a way to get ALL the non-US teams together for one regional? I think that would be interesting.

Since most of them are flying anyway it wouldn't be that big of a difference. Just have everyone go to the Canadian Regional and its all good. The only problem is the new Mexican team is probably driving to Arizona so it'd be different for them.

Holy smokes...

Registration for second regionals opened up today at 12:20. Within 10 minutes, the 21 open spots for the Midwest Regional were gobbled up.

I'm assuming that some of the other regionals had similar happenings. Good job for all teams who got where they wanted to go.

Also... an updated team count is 856.
