Schedules Available Online for Semifinals

Due to the positive feedback I received, I will be posting individual team schedules online on Friday like I did for the second weekends Qualifier events. They will be on the individual event pages that you can access from this link- https://firstwa.org/Team-Resources/FIRST-LEGO-League-Team-Resources/Events

At the events, there will be schedules posted at team check-in and pit admin for teams to view and take pictures of that will list all the teams and their schedules.

If you did not have this at your Qualifier and have feedback on this change, please email me your thoughts! Thanks!
