Re: Registration 2011

Here's a message of interest pertaining to the waitlist for Championship.

Quote:
Greetings Championship Wait List Team:

Now that registration has closed, we want to touch base with you and share the following to help you understand the 2011 FRC Championship wait list process:
  • Championship spot availability is based on how many merit-based qualifying teams choose to attend or decline to attend the event. You can view the merit based qualifying criteria at http://www.usfirst.org/roboticsprogr...ip+eligibility Please note, teams that decline their qualifying spot may not offer the spot to another team; declined spots are offered to wait list teams by FIRST Headquarters;
  • Some of the merit-based qualifying teams may have already registered for the Championship during open registration. This will open additional spots to wait list teams;
  • We will start making offers to wait list teams once the events are underway, around the 3rd week of competition, given there are spots to offer. However, some spots may open up after the payment deadline date (1/28/11) as some registered teams may drop the Championship due to funding issues. In this event, we will start making offers to wait list teams in early February.
  • Teams are normally moved off the wait list on a first come first served basis (i.e., date registered on the wait list.) However, and although unlikely, FIRST reserves the right to move a team into the event at its discretion;
  • We do not publish the wait list. As with the regionals, FIRST does not want any team making travel arrangements based on where they are on the wait list. There is no guarantee even the first team on the list will get a spot;
  • You may send payment for us to “hold” for you; however, this does NOT guarantee your team a spot in the Championship nor give your team preference for being moved off the wait list. In the event your team is offered a spot and you accept, we will apply the monies to your account. If your team does not get a spot your payment will be returned.
Please note all Championship wait list decisions are made at FIRST headquarters. Questions should be directed to frcteams@usfirst.org, Subject Line: Championship Wait List.

We wish each of you the best of luck this season.

Warm Regards,

FRC Teams.

Go Teams!
