At this time you will be able to enter the system to update your Team Profile Information (formerly referred to as "Pre-registration") or confirm the current information in the system is accurate. You will also be able to create a new team should you wish to do so.

In keeping with last season, you will logon to TIMS using your email and password at https://my.usfirst.org/frc/tims/site.lasso. If you have forgotten your password you may use the "forgot password" link, or contact us at frcteams@usfirst.org and a Team Support member will be happy to provide you with the information.

Initial Event Registration will open Thursday, October 2nd at 12:00 noon EST. Prior to being able to register for an event, all returning teams must have updated, or confirmed as accurate, their Team Profile Information. We therefore encourage you to go in to the system at your earliest convenience and get this done!

We look forward to having you all back for the 2009 season.

Go Teams!
