Re: Team 3000!

Another thing that makes the team numbers inflated is the fact that some schools have had multiple teams. The school I'm working as an assistant coach and mentor for just got back into FIRST after a three year hiatus, and we had to "start" a rookie team since all the kids that were on the old FIRST team have graduated. Originally, we were team 1489, but this year we got assigned the number 3060. I'm sure there are all kinds of other circumstances where schools have gotten multiple team numbers over the years, and as was previously mentioned, numbers are skipped every year.

So, I'm sure that the team retention problem isn't nearly as bad as it looks based on looking at the ratio of active teams to total team numbers.
