**FIRST EMAIL**/Team Yearbook Pages Information Deadline Reminder
 

Greetings Teams:

We want to remind you that the Team Yearbook Page submission deadline is coming up. Please read below for full details.

Team Yearbook Submissions

The Team Yearbook is your opportunity to share valuable information about your team with FIRST. The data collected helps FIRST track important statistics such as how much it cost your team to participate in the competition, the population of the team (e.g., male/female students, teachers, parents, non-technical professionals) and class breakdown. This information is helpful in FIRST's efforts to procure funding.

Judges also use the Team Yearbook at the Regional and Championship events. They learn important details about your team such as the history, goals, strengths and challenges your team has overcome. Judges take all of this into consideration when they make decisions about team awards. Please note we may use the robot photos you submit for the Awards Ceremonies.

To enter this data, please go to the Team Information Management System at http://www.usfirst.org/robotics/res_art2.htm starting Wednesday, February 8th. Once logged in, go to the "Pre-Event Information " area and complete the Additional Team Info, Team School Demographics, and Team Essays sections. Please note you must do this before 12:01 am EST February 23rd.
Customer Service Note:

In the past some teams have waited until the deadline date to start inputting information. Unfortunately, some also experienced last minute problems that could not be resolved by closing time. Since we are against a strict printing deadline, we urge you to start and complete this tab ahead of the deadline date - this way if you have any problems or questions, Team Support will have enough time to help you. Should you need assistance, please contact us at frcteams@usfirst.org.

**IMPORTANT** Due to printing constraints there can be No Extensions. The "Pre-event Information" sections listed above must be completed on-line by 12:01 am EST February 23rd for inclusion in the Team Yearbook.

Go Teams!
