Greetings Teams:



Due to inclement weather conditions and other events beyond the control of FIRST, we may need to make adjustments to this season’s FRC Competition Event schedules.



Official Event information will be sent by email to Team Main and Alternate Contacts from FIRST Headquarters during FRC Competition Season.



If you are traveling in inclement weather, please use caution and travel safely, and please take special care moving your robot in and out of your venue.



Sincerely,



Go Teams!

Hmm, I wonder to what extent. Would they ever move an event to a completely different weekend?

An example might be delaying the start by an hour to allow teams more travel time in unusually snowy or stormy conditions.

Venues (and the field schedules can't accommodate slippage to different days or weekends.
