My experience agrees with all but part of #2.
You can actually pay for specific events out of "order" so to speak.
We guaranteed our second regional first by P.O., moving us to the Registered/Unpaid category in TIMS. A partial payment is in and our remaining checks are cut, but have to be approved by State auditors before they can be sent to FIRST.
We paid explicitly for Championships next, moving us to Registered/Paid.
FIRST then received our payment for our "first" Regional (Registered/Paid). We didn't bother to send them the P.O., since we start off as Registered/Unpaid.
P.S. See if these TIMS attachments clarify what I meant. Note, Philly filled up faster than we could process a guarantee or payment, so we dropped ourselves off the wait list there.
