Re: Registration 2011
Can they not fit two more teams into the event?

Re: Registration 2011
The message says there is "no more room in the facility to increase the number of teams." That means that they're probably already running 8' by 8' pits (or maybe 8' by 10' pits) to accommodate everybody, and barely have enough room for the field/storage/walkways. So, they're asking if anybody doing the event as a second event will either switch events or drop out, so that the rookies can compete.
I've got a hunch that there will be room for the rookies before terribly long, knowing FRC teams' tendency for helping other teams to compete and all. |

Re: Registration 2011
It looks like one team dropped out of Smokey Mtn in the last day, so they'll need at least one more.
P.S. Team 461 was the generous team that gave up their slot in TN for one of the shutout rookie teams. As much as the event organizers strive to fit in everyone who want's to come, the time arrives when one more would spill out the door. SBPLI has that situation this year. More teams wanted to come than we could rearrange the furniture to fit. In past year's the venue has been able to come up with creative ways to reorient the field, reduce or eliminate the practice area, relocate the A/V folks, move as much excess as possible out into the hallways. Sounds like TN would need to setup a tent outside. Last edited by Mark McLeod : 08-12-2010 at 11:39. |

Re: Registration 2011
Seem like it's time for us to build a 4-dimensional room, just for this eventuality. Or are 5 dimensions needed?
Welcome back Mark, we missed you. |

Michigan was a conspicuous exception, because they run to a different registration schedule. Last year Michigan finally cleared their waitlists over the year-end holidays, before Kickoff. And of course the Championship waitlist is much later and was handled unusually last year. This year we have more Regionals delaying their waitlists. Presumably, due to what appears to be a very late rookie registration drive. The most obvious are the Texas Regionals, frozen to make sure late registering Texas teams get preference. As Glenn informed us, they are scheduled to clear December 15 this year. If you have a particular event in mind I can give you a time chart of its' 2010 registration tally.

Re: Registration 2011
I just got notified that WPI has accepted us from the waitlist, so they've started the clearing process.
Last year Regionals also did a half pass at the waitlists just prior to 2nd event registration opened up. That didn't happen this year. Clearing the waitists may take place over several days, because they first give the waitlisted team 24 hours to accept before moving on to another team on the list. Here are last year's registration charts for:

Re: Registration 2011
Smokey Mountain was filled up with no hidden reserves.
This morning 1311 - Kell Robotics - withdrew from the Smokey Mountain Regional. 1311 is moving to the Palmetto which is the previous week. 1311 is going back to back - Peachtree then Palmetto.... FYI - as of this writing the empty slot at the Peachtree is now filled. However - if you want to move from the Smokey Mountain to the Peachtree it is a very do-able thing. There is a little wiggle room there. Ed |

Re: Registration 2011
When Connecticut was at the Meadows venue, they had a large tent in the snow and rain for the overflow teams.

Re: Registration 2011
Glad to hear it, but I don't see you guys on the Event page yet. Does that take awhile to update?

Maybe they spent the afternoon sending out a bunch of invitations and will go through the responses tomorrow. |

Re: Registration 2011
One of the Smoky Mtn rookies (3856) has taken 461's slot.
1311 is still listed even though they've agreed to release their spot, and I now know of several teams including my own that have received invitations to move off other event waitlists, but have yet to appear on the respective event team lists. So there's a backlog or lag at FIRST HQ on moving teams on and off the event lists. 3 teams dropped out and 8 added in within the past few hours. Last edited by Mark McLeod : 09-12-2010 at 22:26. |
