Colorado FLL 2009 Tournament Information

Details which will be coming soon:

  • Registrations are taken on the US FIRST registration site.  Be sure to check the "tournament procedure overview" ahead of time.  Short story:  don't "register for a tournament" - it won't work.  Instead, "Apply for an Event Group" named Colorado Qualifyer Tournaments.
  • Release forms - one required from EACH team member, for EACH event they attend, please.

The Colorado FLL Tournament Planning Committee (TPC) will assign your team's Qualifier location.  Tournament registration will provide ample opportunity to request 1st and 2nd choice tournament placement.  We'll attempt to accomodate your requests as best as we can, but tournament balancing will assure you the best competition environment possible.

Attending more than one Qualifier?

Some teams may want the added experience of more than one qualifier event.  If that team is yours, please remember:

  • Your team can only win an award at the FIRST qualifier they attend.
  • Only the FIRST you attend can qualify your team for advancement to Championship.
  • Qualifier Director may decline your registration if another team needs the same position at the tournament for their FIRST qualifier.

24% of the teams from any qualifier WILL ADVANCE to Championship so you can be comfortable that your opportunities of advancement will not be altered by the qualifier you choose.
