End of January Updates

[Ashley Harbert]

Hi Teams,

Team status page

Please be sure to navigate to your team status page HERE to make sure all team rosters are complete, and that all payments have been made for your team's qualifying tournaments for the season. If your team has already qualified for champs, a payment link will appear on your team status page in the near future.

Compass Awards Submission Reminder

All teams are eligible to submit for this award. The award will be given at our championship event. This is a video submission and needs to be submitted no later than Thursday, February 13th at 11:59pm PST.  Guidelines for the videos can be found on the attachment in this email.  Submissions should be emailed to ma...@playingatlearning.org and must include:

• Team Name
• Team Number
• Coach Name (who is being submitted for the Compass Award)
• A link to a shared video
• An email contact address (for any technical issues)

Sharing can be done by any method available to the team (ie. Box.com, Dropbox, Google Drive) but must have a hyperlink that allows us to download the videos. Do NOT email a YouTube link of your video.

Please see the video guidelines attached to this email.

Volunteers for Championship

We are still in the process of locating a site and pinning down a date for our regional championships. If you believe you will be interested in volunteering for the event regardless of the date, please register to volunteer HERE.

After signing up for the roles you might want, adults only will need to proceed to the screening system and request a background check. When successful, you'll get a confirmation email from Sterling Volunteers.

Champs Jotform

If your team already knows that they have qualified to participate at the Regional Championship event, please fill out our Jotform HERE to get the process started for what is required for champs. Be sure to list on the Jotform, your team's TWO ADULT volunteers.

School Permission

If you are part of a school team and you think your team may need to have permission from the school to participate at the NorCal Regional FTC Championship event, please check in with your school to see if any special permission is needed. We don't want your team to run into any deadlines and miss out on being able to participate.

End of Season Town Hall

We will be having an end-of season Townhall in the near future. Please be on the lookout for that announcement.
