The wait list for Boilermaker is 7-10 teams deep right now. Priority will go to the teams on wait list that have not signed up for any other regional yet. Will miss absent Indiana teams.

I'm certain that teams who miss getting a spot at Boilermaker, and are still looking to compete that same weekend, will be welcome in St. Louis.

Indiana teams have done well there in past years.

We loved coming there until you guys moved the date.

Re: Registration 2010

P.S.
Afternoon results:
Palmetto is now at initial capacity, probably no waitlist to speak of yet if you want to sign up.
P.P.S. Lone Star is also now (11-06-09, 9am) at initial capacity.

It appears we had a spurt of teams "join" in and the Minnesota waitlists were cleared around 11:00am Central time/noon Eastern time.

Both MN regionals are now at 62 teams each, and the number of registered Minnesota teams jumped from 91 to 101, so 10 were on the waitlist.
  • Total teams: 1616
  • Resurrected vets: 15
  • New teams: 208
  • Renumbered & merged teams: 3
  • Still one team that's not a team (that also takes up fake slots at BAE and Championship).
-----------------

Unrestricted Registration opens at noon today, so before that changes things here are the registration totals by location.
A bunch of the Missing teams are just late in registering, e.g., most Israeli teams usually show up just before registration closes, Texas is busy with the BEST competition. One Long Island team just registered yesterday, but won't show up because they are sitting on the SBPLI waitlist.

Registered = total
Missing = # teams that played last year, but don't yet show up on the TIMS rolls (these include at least a dozen teams we know about that are still on waitlists for probably their only regional).
New = includes rookies, new teams with veteran members, renumbered/merged teams too.
Resurrected Vets = teams that sat out a few years, some of them have gotten new rookie #'s, but aren't counted in the new team totals.

Here's where event registration stood as of 11/5/2009 at 9am.
I added a simple guess at the final capacity of each venue based on the initial capacity (some adjusted) plus a 10 slot reserve (15 for districts).
Some venues, e.g. DC, are capable of holding much more than my simple estimate, but all this is up to the Regional Directors and what their plans can handle.

None of this takes into account teams already on waitlists for many of these events, for instance, Boilermaker and SBPLI Long Island waitlists seem to be full.

Re: Registration 2010

Looks like Boston cleared their waitlist.

Arizona has reached its advertised capacity too.

I count 2245 slots filled by 1640 teams (including that one non-team).
That doesn't take account of the many remaining on waitlists of course.

If my math is close that means:
  • (1640) 1st regionals & districts
  • (169) Championship slots
  • (98) 2nd district slots (with 130 Michigan teams, that means 32 haven't signed up for a 2nd district event)
  • (338) 2nd (or 3rd) regionals
But those numbers are just off the cuff, so they need to be double-checked and verified.

Re: Registration 2010

As of this morning registration (1682) officially passed last year's total teams (1677).
127 more teams than were registered at this time last season, and 20 days ahead of last year's signup.
Part of the latest increase has been due to waitlist releases, as well as, rookies finally signing up.
  • ~87% team retention so far (same as 2005's final tally), still missing 240 teams that played last year.
  • 19 returned schools that had a team before (2 to 13 years ago).
  • 227 new teams
Some of those new teams given low numbers have dropped out - 9 of those remain.

3351 from Israel is the highest team number so far.

Re: Registration 2010

A balance point of sorts has been reached:
230 new teams
vs
230 teams missing from last season
One will continue to decrease while the other increases.
It looks like we might break 1800 total teams this season.

We've surpassed 1994 in net number of teams gained (20) - all resurrected vets since the new and missing teams balance each other out. Of course, back then that represented a 76% increase, while for 2010 that's a 1.2% increase.

Team 121 has registered.

Of the lower number teams we are still missing:
  • 1997 rookie
    • 59 Miami, FL
  • 1998 rookie
    • 104 West Chester, PA
  • 1999 rookie
    • 284 Dimock, PA
  • 2000 rookies
    • 405 Richmond, VA
    • 406 Detroit, MI
  • 2001 rookies
    • 496 Port Jefferson, NY
    • 500 New London, CT
    • 549 Leominster, MA
    • 615 Washington, DC
    • 660 Round Rock, TX
    • 670 Cupertino, CA
There are 5 regionals that are only a team or two away from filling their initial capacity: Bayou, Chesapeake, Colorado, Hawaii, and Vegas

Re: Registration 2010

Yes,
It looks as though Hawaii will probably fill up.
We just added ours today.
Surprising not many West Coast teams this time around.

Re: Registration 2010

Clarification on the 2010 Championship Wait List came out in an email blast (directed to teams already on the waitlist).
http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...816#post882816

We're past 1700 teams.
Las Vegas reached published capacity too.

Re: Registration 2010

Thanks for the great updates Mark !

The team list is growing quickly, we are now at 1736 teams.
Regional capacity is coming soon. Most all the events are waitlist registration.

St. Louis, Waterloo & GTR have the largest # of open spots.
Bayou and Wisconsin only have a handful of spots open.

Re: Registration 2010

Thanks for posting Andrew, I got distracted by the FRC Records thread.

P.S. Bayou is now at advertised capacity (5pm, 11/21).

2359 competition slots are filled.

The Minnesota events are completely full, waitlisted teams now need someone to drop out before they can get in.
Dallas has squeezed in a few more than I guessed they would handle.

Don't forget Hawaii also has one published slot still open, plus probably 10 reserved spots.
Waterloo has one open capacity, but has changed to 26 slots available from it's original 20.

Israel too has a lot of spots remaining.
A half dozen Israel teams registered in just the past day.

Colorado and Chesapeake filled in just the last couple of days.

Actually, there are a few events (Kansas, WPI, Oklahoma) where teams have dropped out bringing the current total of players below the original published open capacity. Now, that doesn't mean that there aren't teams salivating on and overflowing the waitlists.

Only 4 more working days for registration, since it closes a couple of days earlier than in past seasons.
I expect registration will be flat over the weekend and over the extended US Thanksgiving weekend, but rise sharply on the regular working days.

Michigan events still have their "2nd Registration" coming up on December 1, so expect a surge to fill the remaining open slots at the district events there.

After registration closes, teams remaining on waitlists will be moved off and will keep appearing on the registered rolls up through the middle of December.
After that teams start to dwindle off all the way up through the start of competition. The total registered typically drops by roughly 25 teams from the peak in mid-December.

Re: Registration 2010

Here are the eight missing Missouri teams:

Code:
Ballwin, MO USA  	Parkway West High School  	1609 
Kansas City, MO USA  	DeLaSalle Education Center  	1776 
Independence , MO USA  	Van Horn High School  		1981 
Raytown, MO USA  	Raytown South High School  	1992 
Blue Springs , MO USA 	Blue Springs High School 	1996 
Maryville, MO USA  	Missouri Academy of Science, Mathematics, and Computing  	2167
Independence, MO USA  	Fort Osage High School  	2366
Kansas City, MO USA  	East High School	  	2799
1609 - Missed 2007 and 2008 seasons before returning last year.
1981 - I am fairly certain it was combined with 1723. The school and most of the students switched districts after the team was created, and 1723 carries the district name.
1992 - Combined with 1782?
1996 - Combined with 1785, which has changed it's affiliation to "Blue Springs School District" to reflect this.
2167 - When registration opened for KC, there were three or four teams registered to this school, at least. All have since been removed.
2799 - "Van Horn @ East High School" opened up last year because KC needed a place to put the kids that were affected by the boundary change that affected 1981.

Edit: Ones missing from KC confirmed to not be participating this year per KC FIRST list: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...=78490&page=11

Re: Registration 2010

1776 has folded due to the lead teacher changing schools.

Re: Registration 2010

Okay, it's Thanksgiving. I'm waiting for a turkey to cook. It's too wet out to rake leaves. Everyone arrived home early in the morning, so they're mostly still asleep, and I need something to keep me busy.

Registration closes in four days, except Michigan third event registration opens on December 2.
  • 1757 total teams showing (1758 if we count fake team 156)
  • 248 rookies (vs. 320 last year)
  • 189 missing teams from last season (26 more than last year)
  • 21 defunct vets have returned (equal to last year)
  • 90% retention rate of veteran teams is in line with the preceeding decade
  • 4.8% net gain
Teams are registered for:
  • (1758) 1st events (including districts - & 1 fake team entry)
  • (360) 2nd Regionals
  • (106) 2nd District events (27 MI teams apparently are not on a list for a 2nd district event)
  • (168) Championship (1 fake entry)
Regional and district teams lists are in steady flux, rising and falling by 1 or 2 teams.
DC just pulled a bunch off their waitlist and are now showing 59.

Here are some subtotals:

5 areas show double-digit losses in teams. Israel is probably just late registering as usual.
