I wanted to give a shout out to those regionals that have the most rookies signed up so far. Since Rookies are the only way to grow this competition, they deserve a little bit of recognition!
Right now we have Las Vegas and VCU tied at the top with 6.
Peachtree and Finger Lakes follow with 5.
Toronto has 4.
There are quite a few regionals with 3 rookie team signed up.
Sadly there are also many regionals with no rookies signed up. Consider this a personal challenge.
I thinl what would help those regionals is if there were rookie teams in the area as traveling to your first FIRST competition can be a bit daunting.
Time to move Finger Lakes up Kate. We just helped another Rookie sign on & from what I hear we have another that is close. That would be 7, the most of any regional.
We aren’t just about rookies here in Rochester, we have powerhouse vets too. From what I understand there may be a race to get those last few spots when it opens up.
