FLL Challenge Event Registration
Overview-
- Teams are assigned events based on location.
- Once a team has paid their FIRST Washington fee and they have been assigned an event, if they would like to change events there will be an opt out form to fill out to request another event.
- Teams will then be placed on a waitlist and moved into that event after all teams have been placed or after a certain date, whichever comes first, if there is still space.
- If there is not space in the event they chose, they may move back into their original event, space permitting, or be assigned to an event with available space.
Challenge Registration- Details- Make sure you read!
- Teams will no longer be filling out a registration survey- YAY
- Teams will still need to be paid to see their placement- invoices just started going out this week to those that filled out the FIRST Washington registration. If you did not fill it out, you will not receive an invoice and will not be placed or able to participate until you do.
- Teams will be assigned a home venue/event that is within 50 miles
- The 50 miles is point to point distance, not driving distance
- This is based on Venue Zipcode and Team Zipcode
- Teams have the ability to opt out of their home event using the opt out form and go on a waitlist. Teams may only ask to opt out by filling out the form- no email communication will be accepted.
- Waitlist teams are not guaranteed a spot in the event they choose, or a spot in the event they opted out of.
- Waitlist teams are placed on a first come first served basis in the event they choose if there is available space, and will be notified after the placement window closes if there is space in the event they chose.
- If there is not space- they can move back to their home event, space permitting, or move into an event with available space, but there is no guarantee an event with available space will be within 50 miles
- Teams requesting to change the day of the week only and not the venue they are competing at will be handled differently. I do not have that process ironed out yet 🙂
