Our team did not use our FIRST Choice Credits from last season, and we were wondering if this is something that we can still use? Also, how many FIRST Choice Credits does each team receive per season?
It is unfortunate that you didn’t spend them. You can not uses credits between seasons. It is highly encouraged that you spend all of your credits because of this.
As far as I know there has always been an expiration date. Vouchers too.
So order what you might need for next year, instead of loosing them again.
Here is the current information… Looks to end April 6, 2018

Aloha!
4 days and counting…
From last season? Gone, last April.
From Round 1 of this season, which is far more likely? Use them, but not before Saturday. That’s when more items (like game pieces) will be added, and more credits, too. I want to say it was something like 600 total (Round 1 and Round 2 combined) but I could be wrong. Check your team’s FIRST account if you can–or rather, make sure the Main and Alternate folks do, they’ll have the numbers and some other rather critical stuff, like the rest of the Vouchers from the Kit of Parts.
When the priority lists open (Saturday), figure out what “in the store” you want and put it on your list in the order you want it. Good luck!
I think what’s happening is that you’ve got your “season” markers a little off. Last season–from FIRST’s point of view–ended in April/May.
Anyone know how many additional credits we have added for the second round?
200
200
Thank you!
you get 500 before the season(round I in December) and 200 after kickoff(round II). The ones you do not use in round I carry over to round II
Similar topic… Did anyone manage to make a list of what was added in Round 2?
I’ve added a 2nd tab to the spreadsheet Pearadox made with the additions I found. I updated a few of the pricing columns for some of the items we are interested in.
