Oregon Update:6
Welcome to the official FIRST LEGO League Oregon Update. All Oregon FIRST LEGO League Coaches are automatically added to this list weekly! In each update, which you can read in an email or on our blog (cross-posted on both G+ and Facebook), you will find out what is happening in Oregon, the important things from Headquarters in NH, and tips to keep your team on track. This blog will be posted nearly weekly and all posts are archived. All official updates this season will be numbered HD# If you've missed an update, please read the archive to catch up!
1) Oregon Qualifying Tournament Registration is OPEN until October 10!
ORTOP is accepting applications for all Nationally Registered teams in Oregon and specific neighboring communities to apply to attend a FIRST LEGO League Qualifying Tournament. National Registration for the competitive season AND Tournament Registration will both close on Tuesday morning.
To register for a qualifying tournament in Oregon, please use this website.
Your team will be assigned to 1 qualifying tournament based on your registration preferences. If an event is not full it will be canceled and applicants will be moved to their next preferred event based on their selection criteria. It is strongly recommended you download the sample application to make sure you have everything you need to know before you complete your application.
If your team needs more time, please email Loridee-Wetzel@ortop.org as soon as possible and explain what you need to get your team up and running this year.
