Re: [FTC]: Questions about first time at FTC World Championship
 

You forgot The Teir Lottery wich adds the winning alliances partner making the number double, and also we were told we had to bring a cart but the person who told us to was if you rememeber the Nationals Announcer he's from SC so he gave us our intructions for nationals, there will be without a doubt more than 100 teams from FTC there. And i know the logistics wont work for the FTC FRC runnning around feilds but i may have to do it.

Are they still doing what they did in 2008 and inviting the first selection through a lottery to fill the remaining spots?

Someone at the event I attended this season said that they were (I think they were from FIRST, but I'm not sure). However, eligibility criterion still haven't been released yet, so we can't be 100 percent sure.

FTC World Championship Event Eligibility Criteria


The FIRST Tech Challenge World Championship will be held in Atlanta, April 14 - 16, 2010 (dates subject to change), at the Georgia Dome. 100 FTC teams will be eligible to participate in the FTC World Championship.

Eligibility criteria will be announced in September/October 2009.

Note the 100 teams thing as well.

Schedule-wise, it doesn't work out if there are more than 50 teams per division. Running a competitions with 32 teams in a single day is rough as it is!
