2012 FRC Match Schedule?

[pr3ciousangel21]

When will the championship match schedules be posted online?
....or can someone post a link of where it can be found soon.

Please and thank you


BTW, there's a list of teams attending the championship but not a match schedule on the FIRST website.

Have some patience--and don't be impatient to learn it.

We don't even know divisions yet. When we do, then we will know what teams a given team will expect to face. Figure sometime this week for that. (I hope so--otherwise the Fantasy FIRST drafts will have to be delayed!)

Match schedules are typically released the day before or the day of the given event--first the practice schedule, then the qualification schedule. Qual schedule will most likely be released Thursday morning of Championship; I wouldn't be surprised if the practice schedule didn't come out until then either.

In other words, it's going to be a week and a bit before the match schedules are released. I'm sure there will be links going up as soon as they are released.

As Eric said, they won't be available for another week or so. The match schedules are built automagically by FMS(Field Management System). This is done on-site after the field has been set up, and as such, can't be done until at least next Tuesday.

A match schedule cannot be generated until all teams have checked in. Sometimes a team will not show up at the last minute, this is especially true at the Championship. So the schedules will not be generated until either all teams have checked in with Registration, or Registration closes. There is a fixed time for this but I don't recall what it is. So I would not expect schedules to be published until Thursday morning.
