The Maryland State FLL
Robotics Championship Tournament is for FLL teams that are
registered with FIRST for the 2009 Smart Moves
Challenge. Registration for the 2009 Smart Moves Challenge
season closes in September 2009.
To accommodate the growth in
FLL teams in Maryland this year, we are implementing a
series of Qualifier Events around the state. All FLL teams
will compete in a Qualifier Event, with the top teams
advancing to the Maryland State FLL Championship. Details
of Qualifier Event locations, dates, rules and final
deadlines are in development and will be released soon. The
basic schedule is:
Registering for Maryland
FLL Tournaments
Registration for Maryland tournaments will begin in
November, 2009. The cost will be $65/team.
Due to the large amount
of registrations this year, the following rules will be
enforced:
-
You must register for a qualifier no later than Wednesday November
18th, 2009 by 5pm.
-
Qualifier assignments will be posted shortly
thereafter.
-
Payments will be in coordination with the Qualifying
sites. Once your site has been assigned the host
site will notify you on where to send your payment.
-
The Committee requests that teams sign up for
Maryland FLL Tournaments ONLY if they will be able
to participate in all 4 judging areas. Teams who
attend a Tournament but do not participate in all 4
judging areas will be eliminated from any
consideration for awards.
-
All teams must have an official Team number that was
provided when registering with the
FIRST Lego
League.
-
You must register each of your teams separately!
-
Remember that no more than 10 students can
participate, per team, in the competition.
-
An abstract of your team's project will be requested
from each team that qualifies for states.
This Abstract should be no longer than 250 words and
should summarize the team research.
