Open Registration for Championships

[kjohnson]

We have already signed up for the championship. Last year was the first year that we actually had a good robot and were finalists at VCU. We were even invited to the 2004 championship but couldn't get enough money for the entry fee and the essential team members. I guess we have plenty of time to scrounge up some money for this season.

I would think that a time line could have been put in place for tier two team registration. There is a time line for everything else. On the other hand, consider the effort and resources that teams are putting into the Championship process when we do not know what the game is or if our robots will even move out of the starting block! (assuming there is a specific place to start from)

Second regional registration opens on October 28th. Third+ regional registration is November 11th. Registration ends on December 3rd.

I would think that after the second regional registration that a lot more regionals will fill up (there are already 6 full regionals!) and this will prompt some of the currently eligible teams to register for the Championship because if they have to travel farther to an event, might as well be Atlanta.

Looking at those dates, I have a feeling that Tier Two lottery will open on or after November 11th and will go fast. There isn't a sense of urgency among the teams currently eligible because of the (relative) small number in tier 8-3.
