I'm seeing about the same number of questions I remember from last year. It's just that they're mostly from people who apparently hadn't read through the rules before asking. The amount of confusion is clearly lower.

To clarify this, students can view posts all they want, but only your team captain is able to post questions to the forum. This is to keep the clutter down, and it seems to be working fairly well.

Re: poor job with the Q&A?

odd...check with your Main Contact (according to the TIMS system) to see if you've been issued a new one. If you still can't log on, send an email to FIRST

YES! Last year's "help desk" format was much better suited to a Q&A area than a forum... although I do think that this game will not have as many questions.

Re: poor job with the Q&A?

i still say there should be a way to actually post a question, which is something my team cant do

i like this forum much better. the questions are postable and more likely to be answered faster.

Your team should be able to post a question, but only your main contact in TIMS will have access to do so. If they do not, then they might want to contact FIRST.

Re: poor job with the Q&A?

I actually prefer this forum to FIRST's Q&A system last year. It has categories and is not too crowded which makes it easy to read. They could do better but at least its a step ahead.

It should have been sent to your Main Contact's email on January 12th. Remember you can always search CD for a start on your questions.

Have your main contact email FIRST, and make sure they search their email to make sure it wasn't missed.

If you have so many questions, ask them here first to see if the answer already exists.
