Greetings Teams:

We are pleased to announce that Championship (CMP) registration will open to Tier 1 Teams on Monday, November 22 at 12:00 pm EST.

In light of team inquiries about hotel package rates, we are providing you with a sample of the rates below. As stated earlier in Paul Shay's May 28th Memorandum (available at http://www.usfirst.org/robotics/2005/regfeememo.htm), these rates are substantially less than years past. Hotel reservations will be made again this year via THS at http://www.ths-frc.com. Please note THS is not yet open for CMP reservations - we will send notification when the system is ready.

The following are approximaterates (per person)for a four (4) night package which alsoinclude tickets to the Saturday wrap celebration:

Omni, Embassy Suites - quad $180, double $335
Westin, Marriott, Hyatt - quad $170, double $315
Holiday Inn, Hampton Inn - quad $147, double $268
Days Inn, Airport Hilton - quad $119, double $211

These are sample rates only. Additional occupancy combinations and other hotels will be offered when the hotel reservation system opens.

If you have any questions please contact us at frcteams@usfirst.org

Go Teams!
