Not sure if its fair to call this or not yet. Back a group of dedicated teenagers far enough into a corner, and they're gonna find a way out.

I've heard rumors of teams able to get waivers from the union to run this year, but I can't confirm the accuracy of that statement.

If true, that would constitute a remarkable breakthrough.

NYC has cleared teams from it's waitlist.
Who out there is still hoping on a waitlist?

MAR has

• 3 teams that are still signed up for only a single District event
• 1 team signed up for three District events

FiM has

• 2 teams signed up for only a single District event
• No three District teams yet

NYC has moved all teams off the waitlist and into the event, or they have closed out the waitlist? I know of several DC teams that are still hoping to get into Baltimore as a second event, but were buried 10+ deep on the waitlist there as of a month ago.

Am I correct in that there is no way to see the size of waitlist at a regional or a way to search for regionals with open spots, other than clicking through to each regional in What Events are in my Area? I have several teams with the funding for a second regional for the first time, but are just sitting on a waitlist now, they (and I) don't know if they can/should blindly waitlist everywhere remotely possible or stay the course and hope for the more reasonable option an hour away.

We are! ...on NYC's =/. They still do have room though for up to 3 more teams (based on what the Regional Director told me, they have room for 66 in total, and there are 63 signed up currently).

I'm hoping they're just pausing before moving more teams off, since there is still room available (hopefully).

You have more patience than we do. That is why we're at FLR now. Good luck getting one of the final spots!

Well, we really don't have any other choice. Since we're in MAR, we are signed up for two districts, both of which we aren't staying over for. That's why we loved NYC last year and wanted to go there again this year; it's only 45 minutes away, so there's no need to get a hotel. We can save our money to get a hotel for the MAR Championships and World Championships (hopefully). But besides for NYC, there isn't any other regional around us that we would be able to come home each night for.

But thanks for the good luck .

Yea, there's no publicly perusable waitpool, since it's not a single ordered list anyway.
Only the Regional Director can say for sure if more space is available, but last year's capacity is usually a reasonably dependable guide.

Baltimore just moved in a couple of more teams off the waitlist this afternoon.

The Regionals still showing open slots that teams can get in right away are:

# slots - Regional
1-BAE Systems Granite State Regional
1-Northern Lights Regional
1-Festival de Robotique FRC a Montreal Regional
1-Bayou Regional
1-Boston Regional
1-Utah Regional
1-Wisconsin Regional
1-Razorback Regional
1-Hawaii Regional
2-Greater Toronto East Regional
3-Pine Tree Regional
3-Las Vegas Regional
4-Waterloo Regional
4-Buckeye Regional
5-South Florida Regional
5-Spokane Regional
12-Western Canadian FRC Regional
14-Greater Toronto West Regional

I like the term "waitpool".

Mark,

Do you have an up-to-date spreadsheet with all the teams registered this year and the regional(s) they are registered to attend?

How would you compile this list? (easily, computer assisted)

Thanks

[Mark McLeod]

I have an up-to-date event team list, but not with me.
Ed Law usually publishes his, but he's probably waiting for Bedford to settle out: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/2731

You can get the team list and other info. on an event basis if you have the event IDs. Then you can setup a macro to collect them all in Excel or another tool. I have to go looking for the Event IDs.
P.S. Event IDs:
https://my.usfirst.org/frc/scoring/index.lasso?page=eventlist

For example, here is the Long Island list:

Championship just lost another of the pre-qualified teams (548)

Do you still need teamlists by event, Floyd?
I mailed the latest to myself.

Well, it is somewhat ordered. Rookies get first priority, and then it goes by teams registered for the least number of events.

7 Ontario teams just dropped out from these events:

• 7 Toronto East
• 1 Toronto West
• 1 Montreal
• 1 Waterloo

A BC and MD team also dropped out.
