[FRC Blog] Registration Update and Reminder

[BrennanB]

In and out smoothly. No issues at all. Good job to all those who worked on resolving the issue.

Went very smoothly this time. Registered in less than a minute, seems like they got things mostly figured out for this wave.

So we can only register for our home district event today, not the additional event?? (I'm in Michigan)

Yes. 2nd event registration will be later (it was going to be tomorrow before 1st event registration crashed hard and had to be rescheduled).

Thank you so much. I was thinking that, and was prepared for anything today to be abnormal. Thanks again.

Where is the actual registration? I am in the dashboard and it has the button to "PAY THIS SEASON'S TEAM OR EVENT REGISTRATION." When I click it, it shows payment options but nothing to register for our District events. Am I in the wrong spot?

2 buttons below it I have an event registration button that I used to get my event.

You need to pass the YPP screening before registering for an event, so that may be your problem.

I wish that was it. Both Lead Coaches are passed the YPP.

You're probably better off just calling FIRST- that's probably the fastest way to get help.

This is a screenshot from my dashboard, which registered successfully today. Do you have that bottom button? That's where you go to do it.

Did not have Red Arrow shown in your screen shot.
Registered for FIM Kettering #1.
Sent request to firstroboticscompetition@firstinspires requesting District Event change from KU#1 to KU#2.
Will see what happens...
Hope that I'm an isolated situation

Their email address is frcteams@firstinspires.org ! (I have no idea if that other one will go to them)

On another note, it sounds like you're in the home event system. It will only show you the event you're geographically qualified for if you're from michigan. If you don't want that event, you have to wait until the second round to pick something else. That's probably why you can only see Kettering #1- and if that's the case, FIRST won't be able to switch it even if you email. Kettering 1 and 2 are different events, even though they are in the same place, so if they decided #1 was your home, you can only register for it and not #2.
