1. Qualifier Tournaments - "Assignments" from Round #1
Based on the information we received during Round #1, we have placed teams in the qualifiers they indicated they would be interested in attending. Please see the attached document.
A few things to keep in mind:
- At this time, we cannot make changes to the "assignments".
- If you do not see your team number on the attached sheet, it means you did not register during Round #1.
2. Qualifier Tournaments - Round #2 is Open
To register for the Qualifying Tournaments, visit: k-12.engineering.uiowa.edu and under "FTC-Iowa Qualifying Tournaments" is information on how to register.
This is Round #2. It will close on October 20th.
A few things to keep in mind:
- Teams can select two events they would like to attend. These should be different from the event you were "assigned" to from Round #1. Again, after Round #2 closes, teams will receive their assignment based on their feedback.
- If a team DOES register for a second qualifier, they are committing to attending two events. (Example: A team does very well and earns a bit to compete at the FTC-Iowa Championship from a November qualifier event. The team has also signed up to attend a January qualifier. They are still responsible to attend the January event.) If a team does not attend the second qualifier event, which they have registered for, they will automatically forfeit their bit to the FTC-Iowa Championship.
- Each qualifier has a registration fee of $150, and they will be billed at the same time. (Invoices will be sent out after Round #2 closes.)
- Teams are NOT required to register/attend two qualifier events. If the team only wants to compete in one qualifier, that is just fine.
3. Amount of Space at Qualifiers
Based on the information provided during Round #1, the following is how many OPEN spots are left at each Qualifier event.
- Nov. 19th event in Marion, Iowa: 2 spots remain
- Dec. 3rd event in West Des Moines, Iowa: 7 spots remain
- Dec. 17th event in Van Horne, Iowa: 9 spots remain
- Jan. 7th event in Cedar Rapids, Iowa: 5 spots remain
- Jan. 21st event in Davenport, Iowa: 7 spots remain
- Jan. 28th event in Ottumwa, Iowa: 7 spots remain
- Feb. 4th event in Blair, NE: 11 spots remain
4. Scrimmage Events - Registration Open
The best way to get practice before a qualifier is to attend a scrimmage event. We are very fortunate to be able to partner with several teams host three scrimmage events and they are:
Oct. 22: Oelwein, Iowa
Oct. 29: Ankeny, Iowa
Nov. 5: Solon, Iowa
Attending a scrimmage is at free, and teams get so much good information by attending a scrimmage.
Please sign up for scrimmages at: http://drupal.engineering.
