Funding FIRST endeavors is a big deal, and I would think teams would do it all year round, including starting right after Atlanta from the previous season.
I think the point made earlier is that it prevents other teams from making plans TO attend by not knowing where they are on that list.  |
Teams sign up because they can. As long as FRC continues to have an open enrollment and teams are considering going to the CMP, it is in the best interest of a team to sign up when they can, buying themselves some time. I'm always amazed there aren't more teams signing up in the first day of registration.
In a perfect world, teams have all the funding in place in time. But in the real world they don't.
I know it's tough to be on a wait list, but that is the system that FRC has set up. Unfortunately the system is really tough on teams trying to plan.
