FTC Championship Tournaments - status

[KathieK]

Because so many teams are still signing up and many have not yet registered for an official FIRST Tech Challenge Championship Tournament, I have compiled the following information about the tournaments. This information is valid as of today (12/06/07) - updated 12/07/07. It will be updated as I receive more info from the Affiliate Partners.
