Championship Announcement 6: The Intel Oregon FIRST LEGO League Championship Tournaments ARE ON!

Greetings FIRST LEGO League Oregon Championship Teams,

In this post you will find:

1. The New Dates & Location For The State Championship
2. The Process For New Date Assignment
3. How to Volunteer - We NEED Volunteers!

1) The New Dates & Location For The State Championship

I am thrilled to announce that Hillsboro School District is able to provide Glencoe High School for the Intel Oregon FIRST LEGO League Championship Tournaments on Saturday, March 4 and Sunday, March 5, 2017.

2) The Proces For New Date Assignment

All Championship Teams will receive a link to a Google Form on Monday, January 30, 2017 at 5:00pm. This form will be shorter than the application form that was completed in December. One person from each team should be designated to fill out this form. 

Each team needs to provide:

• The official team number and lead coach contact information
• The team day preference (either day, either day with Sat preference, either day with Sun preference, Sat Only, Sun Only, unable to attend either day - officially declining the state assignment, no new teams will be invited)
• If the team has to drive more than 3 hours to attend the event.
• How many team members have a conflict and will absolutely not be able to attend if the team does not get their first preference day, if applicable.
• Would your team be interested in a hotel room block for Friday or Saturday night (if available - we are looking into this now).

Assignments will be done based on the following criteria:

1. More than 3 hours of travel restricted due to school on Monday - we are no longer on a holiday weekend :(
2. Teams with conflicts resulting in a significant number of team members unable to attend.
3. First Completed Google Forms.
4. Tournament may not exceed 60 team capacity (our pit space is the same size as at Liberty and our schedule can not support more teams)

For all other tournament information your forms that were submitted in December will be used. 

4) How to Volunteer - We NEED Volunteers!

We still need 175 volunteers per day to hold this event. If you were signed up before the postponement please look for an email in the next couple weeks to confirm your availability. If you were not signed up the event is now open in the FIRST Volunteer System. We would love to see you there! 

Best Wishes,

Loridee
