Re: paper: Michigan Teams District Events

Here is a spreadsheet showing which District events Michigan teams are registered for, as of 9 Oct 2008. I will update periodically.

Some teams are registered for only 1 district; I suspect they may be on a waiting list for their second event.

Re: paper: Michigan Teams District Events

Wow, based on my modifications of Gary's file (thanks for the great base!) we're down to only 102 teams this year. Last year we were above 110! That means not only did we not grow, we shrank! Wonder if this is the economy, the new structure, or a combination of the 2...

Is FIRST in general seeing this same trend? Does anyone have the figures?

Re: paper: Michigan Teams District Events

Looking at the number of 2000+ team numbers in that list, I'm guessing a lot are still working on securing funding for 2009 before registering, rather than signing up now, then having to back out later.

Also, in answer to Beth's Question:
2008 Final Registration NUmbers: 1564 teams
2009 Registration to Date: 1022 (with a little less than 2 months remaining to register)

Now, the number that I don't have a way of getting easily, is how many were registered as of this point last year...

Updated 10/22/2008. Michigan is up to 111 teams. 1282 teams total worldwide.

One, 2075 from Grand Rapids West Catholic, has disappeared.

Re: paper: Michigan Teams District Events

We do have a couple of teams who won't be returning because of leadership issues. If a team isn't returning because of money, then we can't have that. We have some money to enter them. They would just need the money to build and such. I am in talks on getting at least 1 possibly 2 teams going in District 8. They are going to make me go down to the wire, but I am up for the challenge!!

Re: paper: Michigan Teams District Events

279 is not technically a Michigan team, they are from the Toledo, Ohio area, but have always been listed as an MI team because their sponsor is in Michigan. They are currently registered in Ohio so they can be taken off of the list of teams not returning

How are Michigan teams already signed up for the State championship

I would imagine Championship means Atlanta, which had open registration

Re: paper: Michigan Teams District Events

Updated as of 12/8/2008.

Welcome back Team 1188 from Royal Oak HS and 1213 from Birmingham Groves HS.

The teams signed up for Atlanta don't currently appear on FIRST's site, so I didn't change anything in that column.

Re: paper: Michigan Teams District Events

I noticed that none of the Teams in Michigan have more then one district. I am assuming that is because everyone is still on a waiting list.

Has any teams signed up for a 3rd district event and got accepted/approved?

-Oris-

Add the following formula to column M to get the count of Districts:

=COUNTIF(D6:J6,"X")

Re: paper: Michigan Teams District Events

I haven't seen any teams with more than 2 districts, but I didn't go back through all the team links to see if there were any.
