Actually, one of them is a second year team, the other is a rookie though! We can probably thank 525 for them coming up here.

I'm surprised that they didn't register for 10k lakes since 525 is there. Happy to have them at North Star!

My contacts say that several teams did try to get in to 10k Lakes also. If my information is correct, there are likely 4 rookie Chinese teams on the wait list at 10k Lakes and another rookie on the wait list at North Star. However, the other rookie team that I was told would try to register at North Star is showing up on the team list at New York City.

The goal was to have the Chinese teams join the four US based teams that were at the scrimmage in Shenzhen in August. So, there are 4 teams at the Las Vegas Regional with 987, 5 teams currently showing at the New York City Regional with 694, one team planning on a Canadian Regional, and one team that is still making plans. They checked into having some teams join 1595, but since they are in the PNW district, that did not work out.

Another reason for signing up for the Indy district is the fact it's Saturday-Sunday, which means no days out of school.

Except it is not yet been determined if it will be a Sat-Sun event. It clearly states now that it may be a Fri-Sat or Sat-Sun event.

The new location will be in the Indianapolis area and dates will either
be February 26 – 28, 2015 or February 27 - March 1, 2015. A

FiM is holding spots for rookie home teams till they decide not to compete in their home event. Once the rookie teams sign up for two events in other locations, the spots will be open to non-home teams... this is my understanding.

Also coaches received an email stating that there will likely need to be another district event added for week two. So more teams are definitely in the works, even if they haven't gotten registered just yet.

I am surprised that the Pioneer Valley event in the New England District is so undersubscribed.

This is an outstanding venue in a cool small city.

Compared to events that are held in high schools, this venue is a great space that can handle many teams with aplomb.

I am hoping that more teams will choose this as their third district.
If not, MAR, FiM, and Indiana are welcome. (PNW, a long ride )
A great travel "regional".
The airport (BDL) is close and there are many hotels right next to the venue.

Inter-districts, let's make this like the old days. Miscegenation rocks!

Google Spreadsheet of Michigan registration stats is here.

I update manually around once per day, so exact numbers may be a little bit out of sync.

Feel free to PM me with suggestions for information and/or presentation (or post, but a PM will help minimize thread clutter).
