Greetings 2010 FRC Championship Waitlist Team:
Thank you for your interest in attending the 2010
FIRST Championship (CMP) event! We understand there are some questions with regard to how the waitlist works, and we are writing with the following information we hope you find helpful.
1. We will not start moving teams off the waitlist until after the start of the Regional Events; we estimate this to be around the 2nd or 3rd week;
2. CMP spot availability will be based on how many qualifying teams choose to attend or decline attending the event (in some cases qualifying teams will have already registered during the open registration period thus making the spot available to waitlisted teams)
Important: Teams that decline a qualifying spot may not offer the spot to another team –
FIRST makes all offers directly;
3. Teams are normally moved in on a first come first served basis (i.e., by date on waitlist);
4. We do not publish the waitlist. As with the regional
s, FIRST does not want teams making travel arrangements based on their position on the list. There are no guarantees even the first team on the list will get a spot. We understand teams have concerns about making travel/hotel arrangements, however, waitlisted teams should plan on making their arrangements
only at the time they are offered a spot by
FIRST. Qualifying teams face like time-frame conditions for making arrangements;
5. If you send or have sent a payment for us to hold for you, we will do so.
Important: Please note this does not guarantee your team a spot, nor give your team any preference for being moved off the waitlist. In the event your team is offered a spot and you accept, we will then apply the monies to your account for the event.
6. Championship waitlist decisions are made at headquarters. Questions should be directed to
frcteams@usfirst.org,
Subject Line: Championship waitlist question.
We hope this helps.
Go Teams!
