This was the first year that we (Northern California) have had qualifying tournaments before the state tournament. Our qualifiers started October 31 (yes, 7 weeks after the challenge was released -- hello FRC!) and went into December. A team could compete in as many as they wanted as long as there was space. Then the FTC Regional was held early in January.
This made that NorCal Regional Championship crazy tough. Most of the robots that were there had been through at least a couple compete/revise cycles by that point. This is evidenced by seeing how many of them did well elsewhere.

Going to as many competitions and scrimmages as possible isn't just important, it's almost essential!
