I was struggling just to get two!
I know registration fills in a matter of seconds for some events. As soon as it opened, I waitlisted for San Diego, thinking maybe they just hadn't added the spots yet. Then I checked and Ventura showed openings. So I went to register there, and after I had, it confirmed me on the
waitlist. At risk of jeopardizing a second regional at all, I registered for Vegas which still had spots open. I called FRC Team support, and they indicated the waitlists were short, and that if I waitlisted for San Diego, I'd likely get in once additional spots were added, because the rookies are not showing up in the quantities expected. So, I went back into TIMS and tried to switch the registration for Vegas back to wait list for San Diego. Can't do it. Can't re-join a waitlist you've previously dropped and FIRST confirms, that's by design. You get one chance to decide where to go. In 13 years of doing FRC, I've never known about this "feature" in TIMS.
They really need to do a preference and lottery system, like FIRST Choice. Or at least
something different.
