Double the championships, double the fun
Last year FIRST announced when divisions would be released 5 days ahead of time (and hit their target within a couple of minutes), but if that’s not good enough for you the FRC Division Notifier is back. Choose between email, SMS, and push notifications- or get one of each. As always, lots of data & statistics will be available after the division release for each championship.
239 teams are already registered for the championships, including several waitlist teams!
Where can you find the list of teams already registered?
It seems as though once you add teams to your notification email and leave that screen, you can’t go back and remove any, only add. Is there a way to do this?

Looks like this issue was resolved. If anyone else encounters a similar issue, please let me know.
For reference, there is a limit of 20 teams that can be added to your email watchlist.
Is there a way to check your status on waitlist?
FIRST publishes no waitlist information. You’ll only know once they email your team to let you know you’ve been pulled.
Registration counts are up to 259 for Houston and 149 for St. Louis. Less than two weeks away from the first division release!
Is there a set date and time that FIRST has announced for this year’s division release?
They have only said “before the weekend prior to the event,” but they might give a more specific time in the coming weeks. Last year it was the Friday evening before the event and before last year it was the Wednesday the week before.
The final teams are being added to the Houston registration list and the division release is expected this week.
Apologies. The site will be down for a few hours.
Currently getting spammed by hundreds of text notifications from different numbers. Is there a way you could just totally unplug until its fixed.
VERY sorry about this error. It was already shut off but I had no way to stop messages that were already queued.
Again, terribly sorry. Will fix this as soon as possible
Well it at least stopped after a few minutes. Thanks for the fast feedback. Totally understand that errors happen from time to time.
Again, I can’t apologize enough, these errors should not have happened and even worse I was caught unprepared and without a computer to resolve them timely.
The site is now back up. Android push notifications went out within 10 minutes of the release without error. Email notifications just went out a few minutes ago but I’m still investigating the SMS issues.
Thanks for understanding!
Also, after reviewing the logs this particular error only affected 8 people before I was able to shut it down.
Remaining SMS notifications have been sent. Feel free to PM me or email [email protected] if you run into any issues or have any ideas for the site.
Is there anyway to see the history for a division? I know /r/north/history gets you St. Louis and r/south/history gets you Houston but what about divisions? I tried replacing north and south with the division names and that didn’t work so I didn’t know if history for a division was on your website. Thanks.
Seriously, this tool is really awesome. Thanks.
