You did it! Now What?

Make sure you read the entire blog!

You did it!!

Congratulations to all the teams that competed this season! 

No matter the outcome, you should be proud of your teams! They worked hard, learned new information and new skills! 

They look to you as coaches and mentors to support them, win or lose, and be a postitive influence in their lives. They could not do it without you! 

Take time to celebrate what they have done, and take some much needed rest over the holidays! 

What’s next?

Teams advancing from the Qualifiers in Western Washington head to the semifinals, from Eastern Washington to the Eastern WA state championship. 

Semifinals are January 18th-19th in Seattle and Kent/Covington. Eastern WA state is January 18th in Spokane. 

Look for more details in the coming weeks! 

Please Remember-

ALL teams moving on to the next set of events (Semifinals or State) are required to turn in a printed roster from your FIRST Inspires dashboard and paper copies of any consent forms for students or adults not listed electronically. NO EXCEPTIONS. If you come without one, we will direct you to go find a place to print it and come back. There are not printers on site for you to use. We will not check in your team without it. This is your responsibility!

Semifinals!

Western Washington Semifinals – January 18th-19th. 

Teams advancing will be assigned to an event and a day just like in the Qualifiers. There is no additional fee. 

In the past, teams that have attended events from Seattle north have gone to Seattle, teams that attended events from Seattle south attended in Kent/Covington. 

If you competed in a Saturday Qualifier, there is a high likelyhodd you will be assigned a Saturday Semifinal, if you competed in a Sunday Qualifier, there is a high likelyhood you will compete in a Sunday Semifinal. 

There will be a schedule coming out, most likely over the Christmas break. I will be including a form similar to the day switch form for the Qualifiers. *Please note- I can only move a team if a team is moving out of the event/day you want to switch into. There are no extra spots available. 

DO NOT email me requests for days/locations for your team. I will not respond. I will only take requests using the form. 

Eastern Washington State

Eastern Washington State is January 18th in Spokane. Info will be coming out from the event hosts soon. 

Western Washington State

Western Washington State will be February 2nd in Seattle. Teams that advance from the semifinals to state will receive info the following week.
