Snapshot of registration as of 10/30/2008
As a side note, it looks like FIRST handled registration like they used to some years ago - first-signed up = first-registered in a second regional or at the Championships. For the past few years it had been first-paid = first-registered and you wouldn't show up on the team list until payment was received by FIRST, but this year you got on the registered list right away without having to pay beforehand. FIRST also did not accept pre-payment in advance of registering.
7 resurrected veteran teams. 4 took one year off and 3 took two years off.
I didn’t look to see how many old teams were given new team numbers, but there are 5 new teams that are technically non-rookies.
