FRC Fantasy Pick’em is back! We will have 3 events each week with live results! (pending FIRST API is working). This is completely free to participate in.
We hope you will play this for fun and it will help you enjoy and pay attention to other events around FRC. But let’s add something extra to the pot: Winners for EACH event will receive a $15 amazon gift card and will be provided to your email provided on the google form.
We will also have a live weekly FRC Fantasy Pick’em show Tuesday’s at 8:00pm eastern (right before FRC Top 25) at https://twitch.tv/firstupdatesnow and uploaded at https://youtube.com/firstupdatesnow where you can talk picks, values, look at what’s trending and analyze last weeks results. Hosted by PJ and myself with other guests.
2022 Rules and info:
You have $200 to create your own ultimate set of teams for a chance to win a prize! Do NOT go over the $200 amount or your team will be disqualified (and will not show up on the draft). You may pick as many teams as you can fit for $200!
Team prices are on the google forms. You can also view them at https://firstupdatesnow.com/frcpickem , selecting your event and then clicking on ‘Individual Team Scores’ to drop down all teams. Click on each column to sort.

Talk strategy, smack and report errors at frc-pickem-chat . After an event is finalized we will not make changes.
Note: Team values are based off of ELO from https://statbotics.io/teams and from what ever time/date we pull data. Pricing should not matter. As a coach it is your goal to find teams who you think will provide you the best value.
We’re going to give an extra long period of time for week 1 events to test everything out. They are open now! Each winner will get the $15 gift card mentioned above!
