FIRST Tech Challenge Oregon Event Signup launched last night, October 3rd at 5:00 pm. We've had only a few hiccups.
- Thank you to everyone who let me know about the issue with question #10 on the League registration. I've changed it to be not required. It only pertains to teams in the greater Hillsboro and Beaverton area.
- Some of you have submitted signup forms using temporary numbers. This means your team is not yet fully nationally registered and paid. This is a requirement. Your signups will be set aside until you can produce a valid paid registration number.
- SLOT AVAILABILITY: Before you register for a League or Event - Click here to see if it is full or available.
- I WANT TO KNOW.... if you are having issues with the national FIRST Registration system. I am here to help you work through these issues; please email Cathy Swider.
- Issues with getting through YPP- Youth Protection Program screening
- Not seeing your paid registration on the ORTOP Paid Registration tracking board. I updated it this morning to show all paid national registrations.
- Not seeing a FIRST related grant that you know you received applied to your team account.
- Fill in the blank _______________________________________
- Payment for League Meets/Qualifying Tournament and non-League Qualifying Tournaments. At the end form SurveyMonkey send you to www.ortop.org/ftc . There is a Yellow Box with a link to the FIRST Tech Challenge Oregon Event Signup information page. Link to the Payment information is there.
- The Sliding Scale for Payment. This season there is a sliding scale to pay for events. It ranges from full cost of program to a minimum fee which is the same as last year. To receive a discount, simply indicate how much of a discount you are requesting and click one of the boxes provide a reason. We fully understand that many of you will not be able to pay more than what you did last season. ORTOP is actively seeking additional sponsors to bridge the gap between the cost of running FIRST Tech Challenge Oregon and what our participating teams can pay.
- Using the ORTOP Payment online system. We have a new payment system for receiving the payments to ORTOP. So far only one coach has reported an issue with making a payment. It's a technical glitch that we are working to resolve. Everyone else had no issues.
That's all for now! Onward!
