With that said, I took to research, and it is 1241, who are also registered for Championship.

Funnily enough I'll be seeing all of them in person at at least one of their regionals.

Can someone clear this up for us. 449 is currently registered for North Carolina and Greater DC. (We also signed up on the wait list for Chesapeake) however The Blue Alliance has us going to NC, DC, and Chesapeake. Did we actually get into Chesapeake?

Always go to the official source. Not the Blue Alliance.
You're not listed.

You can check your individual team record for where you're registered, too:

Just some odd statistics I hadn't gotten around to publishing:

• 36 resurrected veteran teams, best recovery rate in the past 10 years (didn't play last year, 1 hasn't played in 5 years)
• 418 rookie teams (although 1 is Non-Competition)
• 12 new "veteran" teams or spinoffs
• 8 Forfeit Teams Non-Competition (get the kit but won't compete at any regular season event)
• 215 lost veteran teams (although FRC is posting the highest retention rate ever)
• ~10% increase in teams
• 18 countries are participating

(Above emphasis mine)
In a conversation with our Regional Director (NC) I learned that we almost lost 10 teams this year, but 7 of those were convinced to continue. The reason cited was not economic conditions, but rather the state's treatment of teachers (key mentors of those teams choosing to leave the state or leave the teaching profession). I'm wondering if any other states are experiencing similar problems.

The teacher strike in Ontario is the most obvious example of teacher/government relationships affecting FRC teams, but the general story of school systems in the country not respecting FIRST even at the same level as non-football sports (wrestling, volleyball) has a very big effect on the potential of FIRST teams. While I don't know if it's a topic for discussion here or not, the problems with running a program like FIRST at its various levels and stages isn't as often money as it is people.

Big corrections on Tuesday and again on Wednesday have brought the total teams from a high of 2797 on December 10 down to 2733 today.

Mark, do you know what the highest team number was before this drop-off?

Also, what is the status of all those teams with numbers 2014xxxx?

Thanks for keeping up with all these stats for us.

[Mark McLeod]

The highest rookie number has kept slowly climbing through the dropoff, so some of those 2014XXX teams are still picking their events and converting to an officially registered full team. P.S. Only 10 rookie teams have been added since registration closed - roughly 7% of the 2014XXX teams still listed (and other rookies have dropped out).

The highest team number was 5348 before the purge and 5351 right after.

[matthewdenny]

Is it possible to have a list of the lost veteran teams? Where would I find it?

[Mark McLeod]

I haven't double checked it, but this is pretty accurate.

[Mark McLeod]

Down to 2726 teams today.

We seem to be following a pattern what with last years' 2524 teams.
The year before it was 2339, so that breaks the pattern.

27 26 - 25 24 - 23 39
