NorCal FTC

Below is the advancement status for each tournament as of 11/11/18.

The table represents the advancement criteria as listed in section 7.4 of Part 1 of the FIRST Tech Challenge Game Manual.  Data is as reported from the Scoring System Software

All host teams are assumed to have advanced prior to the start of any Qualifying Tournament. Host team advancement is dependent upon the successful completion of a tournament that meets FIRST Tech Challenge and NorCal FTC standards.

For the 2018 season, we are planning on hosting 56 teams at the NorCal FTC Championship.  There are 17 qualifying tournament equivalents currently scheduled (5 being 2-field events). We are still working on potentially adding one additional single-field tournament.  We are holding off on announcing the final advancement per tournament pending the possible additional qualifying tournament.

Based on this, there will likely be a minimum of 2 teams per single-field event and a minimum of 4 per 2-field event.

Advancing Teams are marked with a Star Icon.  Teams that have previously advanced (including host teams) are marked with a Padlock Icon.  Teams that are currently the next advancing team from the tournament are marked with a Checkmark Icon.  Teams that advanced based on later tournaments are marked with Info Icon. Teams that are ineligible to advance based on having already competed 3 times are marked with a red X. Teams that decline their advancement will be marked with a yellow triangle.

We will hold a lottery of the tournaments, with the next eligible team, based on the advancement order, from the tournaments drawn advancing to the NorCal FTC Regional Championship. (i.e. each tournament will get one token in the lottery.  We will draw an ordered list of tournaments from the lottery pool and work from start to finish, filling the NorCal FTC Championship with the next eligible team from each tournament in turn).  With the current number qualifying tournaments, we are anticipating that 12 of the 17 tournaments will be selected via the tournament advancements lottery.

Tournaments that were selected for the one additional advancing team will have that team marked with a Red Heart Icon.

In all cases, if a team declines to attend the NorCal Regional Championship, the next team down the list for that tournament will receive an invitation in place of the declining team.  If all teams from a tournament decline (i.e. there are no more unadvanced teams from the event), we will move down the list of lottery draws offering the space to the next tournament.

The lottery draw was performed Sunday evening 2/10. The order drawn was as is shown below.  The bolded tournaments each received and additional advancement slot.
