Team 135 is considering trying to attend a week 1 FiM District Event. Do you MI teams think there will be any slots open at either week 1 event once the "other district" registration opens?

In all honesty I would guess no. There's only 10 and 11 spots left at Howell and Southfield, respectively. However there is always a chance.

Also since there's talk (per an earlier post) of adding another event Week 2, that could lead to some available spots that week if your scheduling allows for a trip to Michigan then.

I would recommend coming to a week 2

Side note: I have noticed that the listed capacity is down from what some of them ended up being last year, so they could always bump up the number of teams aloud in.

How do we find out the team #, etc on the teams here who are not from the major player countries and thus not easily searchable on usfirst.org?

frclinks.frclinks.com/t, sort by location. Non-USA locations will be on the first two pages (of 250 teams). No countries appear after USA.

FRCLinks also supports search-by-area.

4/10 - NE
5/9 - PNW

Does ANYONE know why no one can sign up for a third district until December 11th? Actually District 3rd plays have a window of December 11th until December 30th. Given the fact that District teams have priority for extra slots over inter District teams... an inter District team might have to wait until after Christmas to know that they are going to be let in.

I don't understand why 3rd District Event registration is SIX WEEKS after open registration for regionals.(October 30)

Does anyone have any idea why this is? Was it this way last year too?

Just wondering

Perhaps they are waiting until after the payment deadline to make sure that no more rookie teams (or late registering veteran teams) pop up before they give those spots away? That's what I'd guess for FiM. The past two years they've ended up adding an event (or two) pretty late in the fall (or even not until build season started I think) so I'd guess that managing total available event spots and getting everybody assigned is rather time consuming, thus necessitating a much later time period for 3rd event registration. The waiting is kind of a bummer though.
