Regional Tournament Information

Registration for regional VA/DC FLL tournaments will be available here from noon on October 1 thru noon on October 15. Please plan to register your FLL Team and select tournament locations during this time. You will get to select your team's top 3 tournament choices. VA/DC FLL will do their best to match you with your first choice. However, if necessary we will move teams to their second choice so that we don’t go over capacity on any tournament. (The tentative tournament schedule now posted on the website is set with respect to available resources, and we believe it will accommodate most 1st choice requests). Teams will be notified of tournament assignments on October 19th.

Tournament Registration Fee
The registration fee for regional tournaments will be $50 per team, due at check-in on the day of the tournament. Payment may be made by check (preferred), cash, or a purchase order from a Virginia or DC school system. Please make checks payable to Virginia/DC FIRST LEGO League and be sure to write your team number(s) on your check.

FIRST Consent and Release Form 
Coaches are responsible for ensuring that each team member, mentor and coach submits to the coach a release form (signed by the team member’s parent/guardian).  Team members will not be allowed on the performance floor without these forms.  Coaches must bring a copy of the signed release forms to leave at the regional tournament registration desk. 

2010-2011 Consent form TBA

Team Information Sheet
Please bring four (4) copies of the Team Information Sheet to the regional tournament.  It is optional, but very helpful to the judges, if you attach a team photo on the back.  You will turn in one copy at the registration desk.  The team will give one copy to the Robot Design Judges, one copy to the Project Presentation Judges and one copy to the Teamwork Judges.
