First Tech Challenge(FTC) Teams,
Thanks to the efforts of FIRST volunteers,
FTC has seen strong program growth and a new level of competition is
needed to give the growing number of teams more opportunities to
participate. The introduction of a new advancement
tier allows FTC to maintain a sustainable event structure, continue
offering merit-based advancement and increase the level of competition.
Beginning in the 2013-2014 season, FTC teams in the
United States will advance from state or regional-level Championship
Tournaments to one of four Super-Regional Tournaments, before advancing
to the FTC World Championship.
The four Super-Regional tournaments will be hosted
in Northern California, Texas, Iowa and Pennsylvania. These locations
were selected based on timing, accessibility, safety, local support, and
resources to execute a strong event.
Super-Regionals are FIRST-endorsed events and are expected to expand outside of the U.S. in the future. Please refer to the
Super-Regionals FAQ page for more information.
