Teams please read-
We still have many teams that have not completed one of the registrations or paid their invoices. Teams that have not fully registered with FIRST Washington and paid their invoices will not be allowed to attend an event. If you have questions, need help, or anything else, please reach out to me jacqueg@firstwa.org asap and I am happy to help you!
Please check the status sheet here – https://firstwa.org/first-lego-league-challenge/teams/team-status-page/
Name Changes
I have had many teams reach out about changing their names, I have created a form for you to fill out so I can update my records. I pull my list early in the season so it does not reflect changes made after.
Here is the form- https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/aa67090fd6a14e99bbf906a93c87fa8e
