Has anyone heard about the date for this year’s FIRST Choice raffle and how Andymark will implement (priority list again vs first to claim, etc)? I have not heard any news about FIRST choice dates on TIMS, the FRC schedule, or the FRC Blog, although the blog hinted that it will happen this year.
I emailed AndyMark about what we needed to do to transfer our FIRST Choice account and part of the response was:
“We will open near the end of November and there will be blog posts and e-mails sent out by FIRST about it when the date is official.”
I would assume someone else has more info, but at least that’s a start on the date.
Good timing, this was just posted on TIMS today:
FIRST Choice closing temporarily for priority list processing and inventory management on 12/06/2015 and will re-open on 12/11/2015 at 12:00 noon Eastern Time
This feature will be open
Nov 19, 2015 Noon EST to
Dec 06, 2015 06:00 PM EST
has anybody heard when the preview will be available?
The Preview/Window Shopping for FIRST Choice is obsolete with Priority Lists. Since there isn’t a time crunch to get parts when FIRST Choice opens it doesn’t seem like it would be necessary anymore.
I think what he’s trying to ask is this: When do we get to see what we can put on our lists?
Are you sure? Because the post right before him answers that question.
I’m pretty sure. That post isn’t totally direct so I’m guessing he skimmed over and missed it.
