Re: FIRST Event Housing Provider: no access information?
We tried booking at the 2 hotels where FTC is held this year at Union Station. You'd think they'd be reserved just for FTC teams since the vast majority of them won't even know if they qualify until after super regionals in March. We're an international team and know we've qualified but even then we struck the situation where only 1 bed rooms were all that was left.

How do FRC teams even know they've qualified for the championship? I know a rather high % of them advance and some will be pretty confident but even so having 600 of them in St Louis is putting the squeeze on accomodation.

Any FRC teams care to chime in if they've booked 2 bed rooms at the Union Station hotels? Interested to know how fair the Experient "request" system is actually working....
