Wildcard Tournament Countdown!

**ADVANCEMENTS**

Teams – look here to see who has moved on to SoCal Regional Champs on March 7 at Monrovia High School. Check here to see who is advancing to Wild Card on Feb 21 at Heritage High School in Menifee.

Advancements from Championship – Preferencing

SoCal will be advancing 8 teams to Worlds and 12 teams to a Premier event. Per HQ BLOG – mentors need to select a preference order (more info here).
After Regional Champs on March 7, emails are sent to all advancing teams with instructions on how to submit their preferencing list in FTC Scoring. HQ also send emails to the next ~25% of teams encouraging them to make an event preference list in case teams ranked above them decline. Lead Coaches can log into FTC Scoring at any time and submit a ranked choice list of events they would like to attend. You do not have to wait until after their Regional Championship to submit your preference list!

SoCal FTC Registration is now OPEN!!!

Thank you, regional sponsor!
