Because so many teams are still signing up and many have not yet registered for an official FIRST Tech Challenge Championship Tournament, I have compiled the following information about the tournaments. This information is valid as of today (12/06/07) - updated 12/07/07. It will be updated as I receive more info from the Affiliate Partners.

The NJ FTC Tournament has opened up 6 slots to the winners of the Hightstown FTC Scrimmage - Snow Day Showdown. Hightstown is hosting up to 20 teams for this event, 12 have already registered. Contact Vince Frascella for more information: [email protected]
Either the winning alliance and the finalist alliance, or the Top 6 teams will be given a registration slot to the NJ FTC Tournament in February.
Example: Partner 3 of the winning alliance is already registered, their slot will go to the highest seeded team, and so on and so forth. ALL SIX SLOTS WILL BE FILLED!
And I got your table to line up better:
