New FIRST competition structure in Michigan
Read the announcement here.

FIRST, an organization founded by noted inventor Dean Kamen to inspire young people's interest and participation in science and technology, today announced that, in cooperation with the volunteer leadership of FIRST in the state of Michigan, a new pilot district event model will be launched to provide increased robotics competitions statewide. The new model, which will offer a high-quality FIRST experience for all students, will subdivide the state into 16 districts to leverage local action plans for growth and make robotics events accessible and closer to home.

The district event model, piloted in the FIRST Robotics Competition 2009 playing season from January to April, will include seven district events and one state championship event. During the pilot year, only Michigan teams can compete with the state. Those same teams can register to compete at other traditional FRC Regional events outside of the state and also qualify for the FIRST Championship to be held in Atlanta, Georgia, in April 2009.
