If you are new to this email this is the place where you will find all of the Washington specificFIRSTLEGO League information. Coaches and team administrators in theFIRSTsystem for the CITY SHAPER season will be added weekly. Starting this season, every email from me will be numbered. That number lets you know which update it is, if you miss an update youcan find it on our website.

I have 1 items for you today-

1. Individual team schedules posted on event pages!

Hello! I have posted individual team schedule files for each event!

(Except Wenatchee, they do their own scheduling which is awesome!)

They are located on the event pages on firstwa.org. You get to them by clicking here-https://firstwa.org/Team-Resources/FIRST-LEGO-League-Team-Resources/Events and then clicking on your event! The file will download, because it has all the schedules, 1 team per page, for each team at the event. Below is what is changing from last weekend to this weekend for team paperwork in case you missed the earlier email and are confused-

We will be changing things up paperwork wise from week 1 at some events. Teams will not receive a printed schedule, there will be a large schedule taped to the check in table for coaches and parents to take a picture of. I will also be posting a link to teams individual schedules on our website here- http://firstwa.org/Team-Resources/FIRST-LEGO-League-Team-Resources/Events Click on your individual event page, and you will see a link to the file with all the teams individual schedules in it. These will be posted on Friday

Feel free to copy yours or print it out if you’d like.

We are trying this in an effort to decrease the amount of paper we are printing for our events. If you have positive or negative feedback about this change I would love to hear it!

Have fun this weekend!
