Where do you see it being billed as a mini-regional? FIRST has it listed as a 3 day event, so it's not going to be a two day event...

2470 is registered for the 10,000 Lakes Regional!!!

We're all set for Boston!

Yes, response was slow (11:58 TO 12:15) but we did get through the registration with no problems. Obviously there is heavy traffic so slow reesponse is to be expected. Just must be very patient and wait for response.

Reference to "mini-regional" came from contact in NASA and couple of other inside sources in the past month. I shouldn't have used "billed"...should have said a mention was made...Yes the registration shows 3 day event, but note that the "TBD" is still attached. Might that mean a final decision hasn't been made about duration?

So, uh, Pat when are you updating the event code list on frclinks.com?

Team 980 registered for the Los Angeles Regional in less than 5 minutes (~9:15 am PDT). TIMS seemed to work perfectly, good job FIRST!!

The January 15 payment deadline has passed.
In the days since, 19 events have had changes in their team lists.

Championship is down to 129 registered teams. 46 teams who originally signed up dropped the event. That's more than a quarter of the teams who signed up.

1810 teams are registered for this season.

Does anyone have any idea when they're letting the waitlisted teams into the Championship? I know they originally said mid March, but considering that there are 46 newly created spots it seems rather ridiculous to not let teams in at this point. (This is coming from someone who's team is already on the registered list)

[waialua359]

Just as important, why did 46 teams sign up for championship and drop out in such a relatively short period of time.
I can understand things that come up for a few teams here and there, but 46?
Echoing the same concerns as teams need time to decide and plan if they want and can attend.

Why wait til midMarch?

701 is coming back to SVR after a 5 year absence - it should be exciting!
