2009 Registration

[Lowfategg]

Went fine for me.

Look out for Team Overdrive #2753!

We are looking forwards to an awesome year!

[Karthik]

Team 1114 is registered for both Midwest and the Championship.

[AndyB]

Had to call FIRST because our team wasn't showing up for us, but they solved it quick and we got registered for the North Star Regional.

[Zflash]

Team 1319 has registered for the Palmetto Regional. We are also excited to announce that we have registered a new rookie team that we will be mentoring from Pickens County Schools Team # 2751 we expect they will be a team to watch for this upcoming year. Please welcome them to the community.

Wow -- the Granite State Regional filled up in just over 100 minutes -- all the teams seem to be from New England except 1138 from California!

Looks like the Long Island Regional might actually be the next to fill up...

(This won't affect everyone—they're looking into who's been missed.) Give FIRST a call at (603) 666-3906 or (800) 871-8326, and they'll set it up for you.

Bug.
Looks like the exact opposite of what Tristan is describing???
Looks like some teams who should be able to register don't have the access, and some teams who shouldn't be able to register do have access?? idk.
Good ol' Newton's 3rd law. lol

The other bug which I called FIRST about is that they are only issuing odd team numbers for rookies. if they don't get it fixed before most of the teams registered the team numbers will be very inflated even more then they already are.

Looks like we're all going to be looking out for team 2775

hehe, look up

Also expect amazing things from team 2753 at NJ.

Good luck guys.

Are we looking at different lists?

https://my.usfirst.org/myarea/index....=2009&event=nh

I don't see any teams from New Zealand or Canada. Just 34 American teams.

There were two - notice the team count is back down to 34 (although open capacity on the main page is still at 0).

The NZ team was listed as from Manchester, NZ and was sponsored by Wally World. The Canadian team was sponsored by Brenda's School of Smarts. There was also a Manchester YMCA + Manchester West HS (although 501 already registered).
