FIRST in Michigan Middle School FTC
Events & Registration Process

Events are a celebration of the season and an opportunity for teams to engage in the excitement of competition.  Awards are given for robot performance as well as for community outreach, design, and other real-world accomplishments. Teams must be aligned to the FIRST in Michigan (FiM) progression of programs and comprised solely of MI middle school aged team members in order to participate in FIRST in Michigan FTC events. Participation in a FIRST in Michigan official event is a requirement for FIRST, FIRST in Michigan, MI Dept. of Education, and sponsor specific grants.

Event Registration Forms:

States Advancement Spots Allocated by Qualifier
Number of teams from the given event that will advance to the MI FTC State Championship per the FIRST FTC HQ mandated Advancement Criteria (see game manual 1).

PRELIMINARY ASSIGNMENT: This could be adjusted up/down based on final event population and the number of teams already advancing from a given event as we move through the season. The goal is to have parity (as much as possible) among events as to the percentage of teams advancing to States.
**Point system will run parallel but in exhibition this season.
