Re: Registration 2017

Question:
Last year (or the year before) when 2nd event opened, I would see a color code for the events telling me at what level they were available or wait-listed.

Yellow was something like "close to full", orange was "short waitlist", and red was "forget about it, you're not getting a spot."

Is something like that happening this year? I don't want to add our team to the waitlist for an event listed as 0 available if there are 30 other teams doing the same thing.

Re: Registration 2017

Also, do we have any expectation that any additional capacity will be added for 2nd round registration opening today? Many events are below their attendance level from last year, but I'm wondering if all of those spots are held by the RDs for special entry.

Almost all events are below their actual capacity so that RDs can hold for rookies and then local teams. I've personally confirmed this for Smoky Mountains and a Miami Valley organizer confirmed it in their thread. I'd expect most regionals to have an actual capacity of around 50.

Whether any more are added today, who knows. I would guess no because we'll still see rookies trickling in to register.

Re: Registration 2017

An error occurred while processing your request...

Now the event just offers "Waitlist". No grades of coloration related to how deep the waitlist is.
After going on the waitlist, in my team's list of events the term "waitlist" is colored yellow.

Re: Registration 2017

Is there a way to see your position on an event's waitlist?

Thanks.

Re: Registration 2017

I got into my event, on wait list. But I don't know how to get on the waitlist for Champs. The recent email from FIRST said:

Veteran Team Championship Waitlist Registration, will open at 12:00 pm (noon) Eastern Time on Thursday, 10/27. We will provide information about how the Championship waitlists will work shortly.

Any clues?

Toby

Re: Registration 2017

CMP waitlist registration opens next week.

The waitlist isn't viewable. Give the RD some time then contact them for an idea of your chances.

Re: Registration 2017

Still working for me.

I got into Arizona West within about 7-8 seconds after opening. When I checked at about 29 seconds, the other spot was gone too. Who is the other lucky winner of the only other available spot at AZ West this morning? Show yourself!

This has really gotten to the point of even timing your breathing and monitoring your pulse. I had my finger positioned on the mouse button, and the cursor over the link, and I was able to achieve the result I was going for. It's exhilarating, but nerve-wracking at the same time. Honestly, had I needed to sneeze at this moment of time, we would likely not be playing in Arizona.

Re: Registration 2017

I'm glad I got in before 12:02 pm, because I've never seen Buckeye fill up this fast before. Team 451 is going.

I guess with all of us in the Ohio area getting walled in by districts, there were only 3 options for teams who need to stay local, Miami Valley, Greater Pittsburgh, and Buckeye - and MV and P-burgh are on back-to-back weeks.

Thanks.
No, because the RD picks teams off the waitlist based on whatever their particular priorities are. Rookie teams, teams without an existing regional will get priority over teams trying to get into a second regional.

Teams that promise lots of volunteers might get additional priority depending on the event.

You may have been first on the list, doesn't mean a thing about when you'll be first off it.

Re: Registration 2017

Could anyone verify the dates for the Las Vegas regional?

We initially were planning on coming back to Vegas (last time was 2009!) but once we registered, we noticed that the dates on the registration page were Tues 4/4-Fri 4/7; however, the FIRSTInspires website shows that is Weds 4/5- Sat 4/8. Thanks!
