It is going to be really strange not having a team affiliation at this event for the first time working as the FTAA too.

I believe that the unbag time for districts is only before 2-day events and not single day one. However, this doc says that for this event there is a total unbag of 6 hours, minimum of 30 minute increments, max of 3 times unbagged. All unbag time MUST be documented fully.
Note: Below file is a PDF with a DOCX extension on it. If downloading, change the extension to PDF before opening. It opened in Chrome directly for me so I did not realize it until Mr Forbes pointed it out.

Good luck to all in qualifying for that 1st ever event in Prescott also.

AGREED!

Ask for yourselves, then pass on the info though please), as 30 qualifyiers from each of the 2 AZ regionals were originally to be invited as the 60 qualifiers, I had previously heard.
If so, then all would have to bag it back up again if planning on attending in May. (And there still would be at least 4 slots or more to fill to even get to 60).

Looks like according to that same doc above, 30 teams total, qualifying based on points earned using the District model (points table in the doc) in the 1st Regional an AZ bot competed in regardless of the location. Winning a Chairman's at that 1st event is automatic entry.
