The event registration process for this season is available on the FIRST in Michigan FTC site and at this direct link: Event Registration Process. The main/alternate contacts for each team will receive the event registration form links via email. Note that teams need to be fully registered for the season to sign up for events. Email michiganftc@gmail.com with questions. There are two parts to event registration this season: Home event opt in/opt out and 2nd qualifier registration:
HOME EVENTS
Teams have been pre-assigned to their nearest “home” qualifier based on travel distance parameters. Please check the MI FTC Team List for this assignment.
The main/alternate contacts for all registered teams will receive a google form on Wednesday, October 8th by 8:00 am (this date has been adjusted) with the choice to “opt in” or “opt out” of the team’s home event. A choice of “opt in” will confirm that team’s spot at their home event. A choice of “opt out” will release that team’s spot at their assigned home event.
Teams that “opt out” of their home event can register their preference for an alternative first qualifier event; team will be prompted to register their 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. choice. Assignment will be made on a first come-first served basis until an event’s capacity is reached. After home event registration closes, the MI FTC Team List will be updated with each team's home event.
