FTC Championship Tournaments - status

[KathieK]

Because so many teams are still signing up and many have not yet registered for an official FIRST Tech Challenge Championship Tournament, I have compiled the following information about the tournaments. This information is valid as of today (12/06/07) - updated 12/07/07. It will be updated as I receive more info from the Affiliate Partners.

I'm having trouble formatting this table so it can be displayed in nice columns... sorry about that!

The NJ FTC Tournament has opened up 6 slots to the winners of the Hightstown FTC Scrimmage - Snow Day Showdown. Hightstown is hosting up to 20 teams for this event, 12 have already registered. Contact Vince Frascella for more information: Vincent.Frascella@baesystems.com

Either the winning alliance and the finalist alliance, or the Top 6 teams will be given a registration slot to the NJ FTC Tournament in February.
Example: Partner 3 of the winning alliance is already registered, their slot will go to the highest seeded team, and so on and so forth. ALL SIX SLOTS WILL BE FILLED!

And I got your table to line up better:
