FIRST Washington Team Status Reports

Status reports have been posted on our website for both Challenge and Explore. 

Please check the report before you email me and ask if I have received your registrations. 

Understand that these are updated manually by me. I do my best to do it daily, but sometimes there just aren’t enough hours in the day 🙂

When FIRST Washington invoices go out, this will also reflect when you have secured your registration. 

If all goes well, event assignments should go out the begining of November!

There are lots of deadlines this week, so be sure to read the entire blog! 

I don’t want anyone missing anything! 🙂

Event Registration is for FLL Challenge Open!

*FLL Explore Registration coming soon, by 10/2

That’s right, it is finally open! I appreciate everyone’s patience.

Teams will be asked to select three event preferences. Please do not select the same event for all 3, unless it is the only event in driving distance.

Teams will be confirmed in their events once they have-

  1. Registered their team with firstinspires.org
  2. Registered their team with firstwa.org
  3. Secured their FIRST Washington invoice (by credit card, check or P.O.) Invoices will be sent out in October

I will post Assignments in November on firstwa.org, not on your dashboard.

Event Registration Coming Soon!

I know you are all patiently waiting for the event registration to open! I am hopeful that it will be open by the end of the week! 

My goal for this season was to have one FIRST Washington registration for FLL that included event registration, but that was not able to happen this season. Fingers crossed for next season! 

Event registration will be found on the same page as the FIRST Washington registration.
