It looks like event registration ran, but some events are showing teams lists on frc-events.firstinspires.org and others are not, in case anyone was waiting on that.
Interestingly, if you search by team you can find what event they registered for, but the event page may not have any teams listed.
EDIT: it works now.
Can confirm the above. The Ontario district Newmarket and Georgian events aren’t showing a team list currently, but I can search individual teams and see if they’re attending.
I can see the teams for those event now.
Minnesota-
Looks like both Duluth events immediately filled their 45-team initial capacity. Not too surprised, especially with the changes in Minneapolis this year.
The one true Minneapolis event (10,000 Lakes) hasn’t let anyone in off the waitlist yet - teams were asked to prefence that event (and just that event) only if it is the one event they are able to attend, so it’ll probably be a long manual process.
The temporarily-not-in-Minneapolis North Star still has 8/27 initial slots open. Again, I’m not overly surprised since there’s another LaCrosse event the next week (which filled 27/44 slots) and it lost the appeal of being a Minneapolis event for teams in the Twin Cities.
I’m going to guess that the link above is only showing first picks at the moment for some districts. FMA wk 1&2 are filled at much higher rates then wks 3-5.
Second event picks haven’t happened yet. They open on October 6th and close on the 13th at noon EST.
So the above link is only showing teams first picks, correct.
Over the course of an hour I have seen lists get populated that previously were not.
I’m just shocked that 7 California events still have space!
Why do you think that it is? I know we have been restricted from staying overnight so it limits our choices to ones we can drive to from SF.
Got me! I did notice that one of my neighbor teams is NOT registered… and I haven’t heard back from their mentor yet about it. There’s a chance that some teams that “held on” for 2022 aren’t back for 2023.
I don’t know the answer, but some interesting data. 90% of slots went to CA teams, 3% to out of state, and 7% to out of country.
It’s also interesting to look at the data for week two where CA has three regionals happening at once. CAOC filled 37/40 while CAVE and CAFR filled staggeringly fewer slots with CAVE filling 14/45 and CAFR filling just 5/44. I think it was wishful thinking that there would be team demand for three regionals in the same week, but I suppose we will only know with time.
The discrepancy between CASF and CASJ is surprising, given that they cater to largely the same local teams, though two contributing factors are likely CASF’s fewer number of slots overall and the fact that CASJ is week 6, an unpopular week among teams who don’t want to handle champs logistics with a tight turnaround if they can avoid it.
I suspect we will also see significantly more slots added to the San Diego Regional now that a venue is confirmed. My guess is the 25 was a stand in in case they had to run a small high school sized 30 team event as a worst case scenario option, which evidently is no longer the case. I’d be surprised if it doesn’t go to at least 40/42, and could potentially go much higher than that.

They are probably on a wait list if not listed in an event. I searched and found a few big teams who aren’t registered yet.
CA events have openings because it’s on the first round… the teams know which ones are better second picks due to not traditionally filling up on the first round.
History favors the forgotten deadline explanation. 
I really hope that these numbers increase because otherwise things look really bad for Florida.
51 Florida teams registered compared to 69 who competed last year, in 2020 before everything was canceled we had 101 teams. This could mean an almost 50% decrease in size due to the pandemic and it’s aftermath.
This is also the first year that I can remember where Orlando did not immediately go to waitlist.
Does anyone know when the unlimited registration opens (date/time)? It is not listed on the FIRST site. The blog states the 1st event reg, then says to see the User Guide. The User guide shows 2nd event sign up, but the unlimited one for regionals page doesn’t exist.
Also, are RD’s supposed to fill up events (if they plan to) prior to the unlimited sign up?
Its extremely frustrating that its taking so long and would be a shame to be forced to sign up for additional events, without knowing if we got into other events. Its also a date(s) issue.
For us, it all started when Hawaii was announced tentative Week 3 during sign ups, then it changed to another week after we had already signed up for an event.

thank you!
Excellent question. I hope they do. It would be nice to get a picture of what events will (may) have space.
Memory says that RDs can add teams at any time (during the preferencing rounds, during the open period, or during this in-between phase) and if they dip into reserve capacity, we’ll start seeing negative numbers on available teams. I think generally, though, RDs hang onto their slots and let the waitlist do a thing for a while, except when there are special cases.
It would be nice, but I don’t think they can. Usually they are first ensuring all the viable rookie teams get at least one event, then they work through the waitlists with some kind of serial invite /accept /decline process. Only 2 rookies have been added since last week to the CA regional along with some other minor shuffles on “full” events, with their current capacity being adjusted to still show zero open. If I recall correctly we didn’t get off the waitlist for CAAV last year until Nov 15.
4481 would have loved to return to Florida, but the lack of back to back events for Weeks 1 and 2 forced us to look at other areas, so its back to California we go for 2023!
