4th Email Blast to Coaches

Hello everyone,

The big news today is that Tournament Registration is now officially open.  You can find all the information regarding the tournaments on this page of our site.  Some tournaments are using the Team Registration and Events (TRE) system to handle registration (the same system in which you registered your team).  Some are simply asking you to email the Tournament Director directly.  Either way, the information is posted on our site.

The second thing is that I want to make sure that you're all aware of the upcoming training available, both online and face-to-face - PLEASE take advantage of these great resources for you and your team to succeed.  This week we have a session on what to expect with respect to judging at a tournament (tonight) and a session on robot building (Thursday night - NOTE date change).  We have more online sessions next week and the list can be found here.  In addition, we're having a FIRST Robotics Symposium at St. Mildred's Lightbourne School in Oakville on Saturday, October 22nd.  General details regarding that day can be found here but a tentative schedule of FLL workshops are listed in the attachment.  Please take advantage of these training opportunities as much as possible.  The Symposium looks like a great day with Chris Hadfield rounding out the day!
