Each team must register with FIRST that includes their $275 paid through the storefront. This is not refundable in any circumstance. Event registration fees for events in NorCal are paid to Playing at Learning and subject to our cancellation policy (on our website). In the event that the entire event needs to be cancelled, we will follow the event cancellation policy also found on our website.

We expect we will host roughly the same number of events as last season. It’s possible that we have more “double” sized remote events than we have had previously. We are still looking at our season and will publish events as we can confirm them. We expect the size of the championship to be roughly the same as well as the number of teams that will advance from Northern California to the World Championship.

As of the 29th we were about 80% of the same number of teams that registered by this time last year. We know that some FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) teams are considering joining FTC this season since we have a remote option. This could potentially add a considerable number of teams to our overall enrollment for this season but right now, we don’t know.
