I wonder how many teams are double and triple booked with hopes of qualifying for Fla.? And what does that do for recruiting new teams .....
Of the 700+ slots, how many are repeaters. Has there really been growth at all?

There are 476 individual teams signed up so far, less than the 515 that participated last year. About 40% of the teams are signed up for more than 1 regional. Last year, only about 20% of the teams were signed up for more than one.

Many people, including myself, believe that FIRST is spots in reserve for rookies and other late registrants. If this is not the case, FIRST will actually see a decrease in the total number of teams this year.
