Do they usually post the practice match schedules? I may just be blind or clueless(because that's never out of the question), but I have never been able to find a physical list. It's a little frustrating for the scout team, we just end up skipping practice matches and just focus on qualification matches.

I don't think they do. They just hand the practice match schedule to your team Wednesday morning to my knowledge.

Okay, that would make more sense as to why I can never figure it out. Thanks!

135, 868 and 1024 are going to represent Indiana! This will be fun to watch!

It's funny...the past few years, 135 has been in very Indiana-influential divisions. 2014, we were in Curie with 447, 1501, and 3301. Last year, we were with 234 and 5403 (taking seeds 2 and 3 together, and 5403 also made elims). Now 135 gets to play with 868 and 1024, which are again two of Indiana's best.

Carson also has a pretty good international representation this year. There are several Canadian teams (more than usual, or do a lot usually make it?), as well as a team from Brazil, Turkey, Australia, and China.

I'm pretty sure that it's less than usual, at least it is for me. In 2015 Curie, there were 5 Canadian teams, in Newton 2014 there were 6 Canadian teams and in 2013 Galileo, there were 10 Canadian teams.

However, the drop can be partially attributed to the +4 divisions I guess, but I think that there are still a lot of Canadian teams at Worlds this year.

1156 is very excited to play in Carson representing Brazil! Will be a lot of fun.
Qual 27 will be nice to watch.

I can agree with you there, 2015 Curie WAS very diverse. I'm sure it does have a lot to do with the addition of divisions. That probably means that these next couple seasons are gonna make it feel sparse with diversity, since they're spreading out even more with Championships.

225 is looking forward to playing with the other great Carson teams!

Out of the last four years we've went to champs, this will be the third time we're in the same division/subdivision as 973 and 2052. 3rd year in a row for 973.

Good luck to all the teams on the Carson subdivision!

Blah blah big list of teams...
5931	Bots of Prey	Caldwell, Idaho
Few more teams...

In comparing the team list in the link with what you have, it appears as if we have replaced 5931 with 1625. Prepare to Winnovate?

I wonder if that means they'll be rerunning quals schedules, or just replacing every instance of 5931 with 1625. Anyone know if there is precedent for this?

The precedent is to scrap the old schedule and run a new one, that would happen if a team didn't show up to a regional. The FMS does not have the ability built in to do a straight team replacement in quals. The creators of the system might have a trick up their sleeves.

Practices are online.

Anyone know something about the new schedule?

I had to try to figure out the URL myself. The navigation paths on the FRC Results pages aren't the most intuitive.
