November 10, 2020 Edition - ULTIMATE GOAL Season
Leagues/Events Loaded for MO/KS Teams
All of the 143 teams who are in our system as having paid FIRST and MO/KS registration fees have been assigned to their League and added to all their specific League events in the Scoring System. This doesn't mean you have to submit scores for all of them, but the ability is there.

How do you find the events for scoring?
  • Go to www.firstinspires.org
  • Log in with your FIRST credentials
  • Open a new tab on your browser
  • Enter the following URL: www.ftc-scoring.firstinspires.org
  • On the left side, see "Teams" and the listing of teams you are affiliated with.
  • Click on the specific team number
  • On the left side, see "Events". It should list the events you have been confirmed for. This includes the Scrimmage, all League Meets and your League Championship. 
Note: These are the same steps you will need to do when you're ready to run matches for official scoring. More details in the resource buttons below.

FAQs

Do I have to register for Events?
No, all teams will be added to all their League events automatically. 

Do I have to play at all my League Meets?
No. If you want to play in a Meet, just submit scores before the Saturday deadline. If you don't want to play, don't submit scores. The idea is to get your best 10 Match scores from Meet play to carry in to the League Championship. This is an opportunity to get a bunch of play if you want!

 
Did the dates change?
Yes, it's been a fluid model. Originally, we were going to have Leagues pick 5 of 7 weeks for Meets. But, why limit it? We're remote! Then we had to eliminate the last week of possible Meet play to move up League Championships. 
 
I can't make my League Championship date. Now what?
Remember that Matches can be run anytime during that week. Judging will be a set appointment (process still TBD). In very special circumstances, teams may be able to switch Leagues. Please check your calendar now for conflicts and send an email to ftc@stlfirst.org to explain your situation.
 
How many teams advance?
6 teams advance from each League Championship to Missouri Championship. That means a 30 team event. We have no info on World Championship or the number of advancements from the Missouri Championship.
 
Why did the Missouri Championship date change to March 6th?
Missouri S&T is holding that date for us in case they can allow limited in-person events. We will be able to tell teams by January 15, 2021 what our plans are.
