- Participation in a 2nd/3rd qualifier is OPTIONAL.
- Please submit ONE (1) form per team. . Form responses are date and time stamped upon submission.
- A team's 1st and/or 2nd round qualifier could chronologically occur after their 3rd round qualifier.
- Round 3 event registration forms are processed in a first come-first served order with event placement limited by event capacity.
- For multiple teams out of the same school/org.: There is no guarantee that multiple teams out the same school/org. will be able to be placed in the same 2nd/3rd round event due to capacity constraints at events.
- Quick submissions are recommended. Do not forget to click the "Submit" button at the end of the form.
- Teams that really want to participate in a 3rd event are encouraged to provide at least 5 ranked event preferences.
- If the team provides a limited number of ranked event preferences, and those preferences are at capacity when the team's form is processed (date/timestamp order), the team will be WAITLISTED and WILL NOT BE PLACED in a 3rd round event. There is no guarantee that a team will get into a waitlisted event.
- When a listed 3rd round event reaches capacity, a WAITLIST tag will be added to the event name. This does not happen automatically so there could be a lag. Selecting a waitlisted event will not result in placement in that event but only as an indication to FiM FTC that the team would like to considered for placement in that event if a spot opens up. Historically, event placement from the waitlist does not happen often.
Once a team's placement in an event is confirmed, the team is expected to follow through with their participation at that event (1st, 2nd, or 3rd round) regardless if they earn an advancement spot from an earlier event. It will reflect negatively on a team to withdraw from an event where they've been confirmed. It creates a hardship for the event host in terms of planning and financing as the team's $100 event fee is remit directly to the event host and comprises the budget for the event.
Note that the event list options might not resolve well on small screens i.e. phones, as that section is long/wide.
