I can definitely say yes to that. If Stephanie answers just consider my 'yes' a strong 2nd! We are still organizing that aspect of it but if you know you are interested in volunteering, let the committee know through Stephanie for now.

Team 418 is definitely going to be there. We can't wait to have an offseason in our own backyard!

I vote for purple polos. That way I can find you guys. (I lost everyone in the stands on gray tee-shirt day. Not that I'm complaining....*cough*)

Yeah, I kept wondering who those gray guys were on alliance selection at LSR...

Team 2158 will be attending and we are looking forward to it! Have there been any other forms of advertisement to FRC teams about this event besides this post? I know flyers were passed out at the Dallas and Lone Star regionals, but I'm sure they could have easily been lost by teams. To make sure that everyone is aware of how to register, it would probably be a good idea to contact the area team sponsors directly.

Also, is there a publicly available list of the teams who have signed up already? I'm very curious to see all the teams that are planning on coming.

[StephBrierty]

We don't have the list of teams attending yet but it'll go up soon.
As for advertising, emails have gone out to every team in Texas, LA, Mexico, NM, CO, OK, and maybe another state... Any other suggestions?

Registration deadline has been formally set at JULY 1!

It also looks like NI and THSP might be jointly sponsoring teams to compete (i.e. pay for the registration fees) - more to come soon or email me with any questions!
