Registration 2010

[rulesall2]

Team 2791, Terminal Velocity has decided, after an intense debate to attend the WPI regional. Our second regional is undecided, but will hopefully by Philadelphia or Waterloo. See you guys there. (And for all you finger lakers, we'll miss you. Great time last year!!!)

Thanks Ed.

I fixed those numbers.

Bill said 3130 and up.

Just something I noticed.

They make a split so say for reference team 7xx breaks up, quits for a few years and later they want to recreate the team due to a budget change at school or something. Based on requirements for new numbers, they leave gaps so the new team could be like 8xx, or if that doesnt work 9xxx, 1xxx or 2xxx the split allows a team that goes apart and when they come back together are required to get a new number to get one close.

Sorta like how chief delphi merged with 63 and has 51 as their new number

Thanks for the reminder. It's done.

Do we know what is going on with Microsoft Seattle Regional?

It is only open to Washington teams during the 1st event registration period. There is a large number of new teams in Washington, and they are required to sign up for the Seattle event as a 1st choice because of grants they received.

This thread should explain it some more:

I understand the intent but right now there are no teams registered for it. It is also listed as having 0 capacity.

I see, but they didn't leave a gap between 3122, the highest 2009 rookie number, and 3123, the lowest 2010 rookie number, as they did in previous years...

What team number would future "2009" rookie teams have? 2700-something?

[GaryVoshol]

They left a small gap between 2009 and 2010 number series. However there's a lot of numbers at the low end of 2009 that weren't used, and could be used at a later date for team splits, etc.

• Teams #1-#208 were rookies in or before 1998 (this is due to FIRST giving teams new numbers every year previously).
• Teams #209-#335 were rookies in 1999.
• Teams #336-#491 were rookies in 2000.
• Teams #492-#716 were rookies in 2001.
• Teams #717-#999 were rookies in 2002
• Teams #1000-#1238 were rookies in 2003.
• Teams #1239-#1497 were rookies in 2004.
• Teams #1498-#1709 were rookies in 2005.
• Teams #1710-#1980 were rookies in 2006.
• Teams #1981-#2287 were rookies in 2007.
• Teams #2330-#2681 were rookies in 2008.
• Teams #2702-#3122 were rookies in 2009 (no even numbers between 2702 and 2826).
• Teams #3130-xxxx were rookies in 2010.

3123-3129 are all 2010 rookies. See 3123, for example.

Bill's Blog said they were going to leave a gap from 3123 to 3129, but it looks like they didn't. That was Sunny's point.

[Ryan Simpson]

The Boston Regional is also full now.

Could that be due to the "no even numbers between 2702 and 2826" thing?
