2009 Regional Registration Progress

[Mark McLeod]

An update on registration progress.
1557 teams-to-date
269 new teams (including 2 new non-rookies & what used to be team 38) - better than '07, not yet as good as '08
3.7% growth so far
15% of 2008 veterans are still missing (225)

12 veteran teams on hiatus that have come back (about the same as last year's 13)from:
-- (6) one year off
-- (5) two year's off
-- (1) four year's off
(There could be other teams out more than two year's. I just haven't taken the time to go through the rookies exhaustively)

New non-rookie team 2828 has been renumbered team 1729,
so now team 2702 and higher are all considered 2009 rookies.

Sort on the net gain/(loss) of teams (# new 2009 teams -minus- missing teams from 2008):
Country Codes are back...
Indiana has every veteran registered now.
