From Bill's Blog there was a request to let him know about the preship scrimmages and it looks like FIRST is making a good effort to get them all posted in the community events:

I submitted a potential Championship Conference Presentation Abstract to talk about how teams can easily run their own pre-ship and offseason events on many scales. Its good to see so many teams are doing it (from the FIRST site), but we should definitely get more going, as they are invaluable for testing your robot in a much more real environment & potentially selecting your driveteams.
