Below is the current advancement status for each tournament as of 11/20/16.
The table represents the advancement criteria as listed in section 4.8.2 of Part 1 of the FIRST Tech Challenge Game Manual.
All host teams are assumed to have advanced prior to the start of any Qualifying Tournament. Host team advancement is dependent upon the successful completion of a tournament that meets FIRST Tech Challenge and NorCal FTC standards.
The status is dependent upon all of the currently in-process tournaments finalizing dates without any cancellation of events. If there are changes in the number and/or size of events, the advancement status will be updated as is appropriate. The information in this table is PRELIMINARY ONLY.
Currently, for the 2016 season, we will be hosting 48 teams at the NorCal FTC Championship. There are 19 qualifying tournament equivalents currently scheduled (16 tournaments, with 3 being 2-field events … 16 + 3 = 19). 48/19 = 2.5 teams per QT.
Based on this, there will be a minimum of 2 teams per single-field event and a minimum of 4 per 2-field event.
Advancing Teams are marked with a Star Icon. Teams that have previously advanced (including host teams) are marked with a padlock icon. Teams that are currently the next advancing team from the tournament are marked with a checkmark. Teams that are ineligible to advance based on having already competed 3 times are marked with a red X.
We will hold a lottery of the tournaments with the next eligible team from the tournaments drawn advancing to the NorCal FTC Regional Championship. The lottery will occur after the conclusion of the final qualifying tournament of the season (currently Sat. 2/4/17)
