**FIRST EMAIL**/Reminder - Initial Event and Championship Registration for Pre-qualif

[Mark McLeod]

Greetings Teams!

Wow, initial event registration starts tomorrow! Is your team ready? Teams will only be able to select an event once their previous year's information has been updated in TIMS. If you have not done so already, please go to https://my.usfirst.org/frc/tims/site.lasso today and update your Team Profile information!

Remember TIMS will open at 12:00 noon EDT tomorrow, Thursday, October 2nd.

Important Systems Change for 2009: Teams can either register for an initial event or join a wait list; they cannot do both this year. In other words, the system will not allow for a team to first join a wait list then register for an open event afterwards. Please make your selections accordingly.

Championship Registration:

Pre-qualifying FRC teams may also register for the 2009 Championship starting tomorrow. For full details please see the 2009 FIRST Championship FRC Team Eligibility Criteria located at: http://www.usfirst.org/community/frc/content.aspx?id=944
If you need any assistance, you can contact our Team Support staff at frcteams@usfirst.org - we are ready and eager to help you get going for 2009!

Go Teams!
