Unofficial Championship District Allocation

[MARS_James]

Based on the math provided to us here

As of this moment here is the total number of teams zoned for each championship:
Houston: 1505
St. Louis: 1858

Here is the number of slots that each district would be getting if they used the number of teams registered today:

Michigan:
Previous Slots: 76
Expected Slots: 79
Actual Slots: 89

Pacific Northwest:
Previous Slots: 30
Expected Slots: 41
Actual Slots: 38

New England:
Previous Slots: 34
Expected Slots: 35
Actual Slots: 37


Ontario:
Previous Slots: N/A
Expected Slots: 27
Actual Slots: 29


Chesapeake
Previous Slots: 25
Expected Slots: 26
Actual Slots: 26*


Mid Atlantic:
Previous Slots: 22
Expected Slots: 24
Actual Slots: 24


Peachtree:
Previous Slots: 12
Expected Slots: 17
Actual Slots: 18


Israel:
Previous Slots: N/A
Expected Slots: 16
Actual Slots: 15


North Carolina:
Previous Slots: 10
Expected Slots: 14
Actual Slots: 14


Indiana
Previous Slots: 9
Expected Slots: 10
Actual Slots: 10*


*Please note FIRST said every district would gain at least 1 slot if this were not the case both Chesapeake and Indiana would not have gained a slot and may potentially lose this slot if FIRST changes their mind next year


A few things to note as well just looking at the numbers, Michigan is the big winner in terms of Championsplit gaining 13 slots. PNW did not meet projections because total teams from last year went down (only 1 but still down) and decent growth in other areas that will attend Houston Champs (Texas, California, Florida, Mexico, China, Australia).

Just for fun here is a breakdown of the largest areas not in district and how many slots they could get if they went district vs how many they have if all the slots in the regionals in their state go to them:

California: Regional Slots: 56 District Slots: 67
Minnesota: Regional Slots: 28 District Slots: 40
New York: Regional Slots: 35 District Slots: 30
Texas: Regional Slots: 42 District Slots: 36
Florida: Regional Slots: 14 District Slots: 18
Missouri: Regional Slots: 14 District Slots: 14

So for 2 states at this moment if they switched to districts it theoretically would not benefit them as they would lose slots (New York and Texas), for the rest it does benefit them, and next year when Kansas and Missouri switch to Houston, Missouri would also benefit as it would go up to 16 slots.

Great stats, but I'm a bit confused... Previous Slots is self explanatory... The other 2, not so much so. Is the Expected Slots number just the FIRST stated number from the PDF, presuming the team count stays the same? And what's the Actual Slots number then?

Thanks for the hard work!

I'm not positive but I'm reading this as

Previous 2016 Slots at 2016 CMP:
Expected 2017 Slots based on current 2017 registration if there was 1 CMP:
Actual 2017 Slots based on current 2017 registration and the half-CMP this district will attend:

Sorry to explain:
Previous slots: How many slots allocated to the districts in 2016
Expected Slots: If total team counts stayed the same as 2016 this is how many slots they would have had for 2017 championsplit, (Stated in the PDF)
Actual Slots: Based on the math FIRST gave in the PDF this is how many slots they are getting based on todays registration numbers.
