Chezy Champs 2014: Applications open!
 
Hi all!

Chezy Champs is now officially accepting applications for teams who wish to compete!

Event announcements
  • We have a team capacity of 38 teams (Includes host team, 254).
  • Basic registration (robot entry and standard pit area) fees are $200.
  • Premium registration: Teams will have the option to bid on 5 Premium Registration spots, which include a field-side pit area. Bidding starts at $500, details on process to come later. Teams can note their interest for Premium Registration in the application form.
  • We are thrilled to have Karthik Kanagasabapathy and Paul Copioli as our MC/Announcer duo. We believe Karthik and Paul are the most entertaining duo in FIRST and are excited for California teams to witness their shenanigans live and in person!
  • Chezy Champs will be held on Saturday and Sunday, August 30-31, 2014 at Bellarmine College Preparatory, San Jose, California. (Friday night load in)

Applications
We have received an overwhelming response from the FRC community after initially announcing Chezy Champs. It now appears very likely that we will receive registration requests from more teams than we can fit in the venue. Therefore, we are asking teams to fill out a short application which we will use to aid in selecting 37 teams to compete. Selections will be made under the following criteria:
  • Robot Competitiveness and 2014 Season Accomplishments (including official record, awards won, California FIRST Top 20 ranking, and other measures)
  • Locality (while out-of-state teams are encouraged to apply, we anticipate at least half of the spots being reserved for California teams)
  • Extenuating Circumstances (on a case by case basis)

Timeline
  • Application submissions open : May 14
  • Application submissions closed : June 1, 9PM Pacific
  • Team list finalized, invitations sent : June 5

Volunteers
We have received a bunch of interest regarding volunteering at Chezy Champs. We aren't quite ready to accept volunteers yet, but plan to have this process up and running very soon. Stay tuned!

Apply now!

Submitted around 2:25pm. Check again in a few minutes. I'm being told "the school network is a bit slow".

Just completed 2085's application. This looks like it will be an awesome event, even if we don't make it in I think I'll come down just to spectate :).

Yes. The event will be webcast. We are also working on some cool inter-match commentary and breakdown. I don't want to say too much yet as we are still working out the details, but from what our webcast people have told me I have a good sense that everyone watching at home will be very entertained.

No team is allowed into the competition if they were in line ahead of us at St. Louis! (I guess that excludes 971 too...) :yikes:

Will the McCann's and DeSilva's being battling it out again for family dominance (like we did in the Newton finals)? :)

Let 1678 know if we can help with logistics. (But Davis is 2 hours from San Jose...)

I am trying to convince Jim to come down if we get invited.
Perhaps a gentle prod from someone might help him lol

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't that 36 applications for the 37 spots available?

Tyler_Kaplan 03-06-2014 01:39

Re: Chezy Champs 2014: Applications open!
 
Yea I count 36 for 38 spots (38 because 254 is included in the list.) At those look like some awesome teams to compete with. If no more apply and we get to compete it's going to be a ton of fun!

Re: Chezy Champs 2014: Applications open!
 
Too bad 118 isn't listed. I was really looking forward to meeting those guys again.
