We are thrilled at the response this year to STEMley - almost all of the slots allocated for pre-existing teams were filled prior to the June 30 early-bird deadline, leaving only a small number still available for registration in the new school year.
Unfortunately the website is not updated in real-time as teams register; it was simply intended to allow teams to see who else is attending once they have confirmed. Registrations are logged in a Google form in the order that they are made, and then the website is updated periodically based on that. All registrations are acknowledged by e-mail to the contact person that filled out the form and teams are informed whether or not they are on the waiting list at that time.
One mandate of the STEMley Cup Championship is supporting pre-rookie teams in their efforts to launch into a successful season. As such, just like for regional/district events, several spots are held back for them as they try to form a team from the ground up at the beginning of the school year. We now are beginning to have a clearer picture of the number of these pre-rookie teams that are attending, so you should receive an update from us very soon. Similarly, if a team informs us that they are now unable to attend, we will invite teams off of the waiting list.
In case you're not the contact person who registered initially, please send an e-mail to the organizers at
stemleycup@gmail.com to allow us to directly send you more relevant information about your status.
Thanks!
