It's like having a FIRST competition at a Six Flags!

I wonder what my schedule will be like, and if I can take a trip north...

We went to the Championships and didn't have any problems with students that didn't have passports. I know that by December 31st everyone has to have a passport and that they like it when students have them but teams shouldn't have problems when they pass the border until then.

Our team is going and can't wait hopefully this year we will be able to win it

Just a reminder to teams that space is filling up quickly for this great event. All interested teams should get signed up as soon as possible.

All the details are available here. A list of the registered teams is available here.

There are plans for a skills competition much like last years, of which the details will be released shortly.

What more could you really want, two days in an amazing theme park, plus a FIRST competition? It sounds too good to be true to me. I look forward to seeing you all there!!

As for the issues about American citizens requiring passports, according to the US State Department, passports will be required for all air and sea travel to and from Canada as of December 31st, 2006. Passports will be required for all land travel to and from Canada as of December 31st, 2007. So, American teams considering the Wonderland Off-Season event, or the 2006 Waterloo and Greater Toronto Regional will not have to concern themselves with this issue.
