Registration 2016

[Mark McLeod]

539 teams registered in the first minute
692 by minute 2
766 - minute 3
826 - minute 4
877 - minute 5
904 - minute 6
944 - minute 7
956 - minute 8
977 - minute 9
991 - minute 10
1004 - minute 11
1018 - minute 12
1027 - minute 13
1040 - minute 14
1052 - 15 minute mark
1100 - minute 23
1200 - minute 50
1300 around 1:30
1400 by 2:27pm
1500 around 4:15pm
1600 by 8:00pm on Thursday
1700 at 9:58am on Friday

That's probably enough of that.
So approximately a third of teams signed up for their favorite event within the first 15 minutes.

We went from 539 teams registering in the first minute to a team every 3 to 5 minutes 24 hours later.

Events filled:

1. Pittsburgh was the winner, filling within 2 minutes
2. SBPLI Long Island was runner-up which filled in 7 minutes
3. Greater Toronto in 8 minutes
4. Long Beach filled at 24 minutes (to be fair, they filled almost twice as many initial slots as any other event, so they would have been first by registering 39 teams by the 2 minute mark)
5. North Star took all of 45 minutes
6. 10,000 was booked by the second hour
7. NE-Granite State booked at 9pm Thursday
8. NE-WPI lost it's last slot early Friday morning

That was the high water mark and then it stalls or slows with only small changes.
12 other events, both Regionals and Districts, whittle down over the day into the single digits with Waterloo the closest at 1 open slot.

Mark,

I hope you don't mind if I direct Michigan teams also to another post I put under District Events forum. Not everybody subscribe to that sub-forum and if people don't login to their account, they won't see it.

The post is to see which Michigan teams registered for what event.

Thanks Ed!

My version of Michigan stats is up here for anybody curious. Ed's spreadsheet has which teams are registered for specific MI districts, and I'll try to keep up with team count and retention stats.

I think the number is 5790 (or they might just go 5800 for uniformity sake, but there's a team registered under 5791 with no 2015 events listed but with 2016 events)

TBA also shows a team number 5777 registered to a team who did not compete last year.

According to TBA, Rookies this year start at 5788, it seems.

Only 5777 is listed that low, so it probably has 3 or more students who competed elsewhere last year and isn't officially a rookie team, but a veteran.
All the other rookies start at team 5800, so that's probably the right number.
I'll revise the number in post #1.

The highest team number I see from last year is 5786.

Probably 5777 looks like a rookie because they registered last year, but did not compete. TBA shows them registered for GA S, but with no results - a no show?

When is the second registration date? Same with 3rd 4th or 5th. I'd just like to know. Thanks.

The number of teams in China is pretty impressive! How much did they have last year?

And why is Canada splitted?

Mexico is pretty impressive. They have 7 rookie teams at the Mexico City regional. All are from Mexico.

Chinese teams competed in various regionals, including Las Vegas, Hawaii, Australia, New York and a few more last year as well as Champs as I recall.
