2013 Teams Assigned to QTs (PDF, Version 3, Updated October 31, 2013)

How to register for QTs

Teams should not wait until their QT registration is confirmed to pay the QT registration fee. Payments are due by October 14, 2013 at 5:00 PM Pacific. After registration closes on October 14, teams that have paid the tournament registration fee will be matched to QTs based on their constraints and choices, with priority being given to teams hosting events but not attending their own events and to teams with severely limited choices because of religious restrictions and other specified constraints. The order of payment, travel distance, and the order of registration will also be considered for events that are oversubscribed.

Teams supported by Girl Scouts of Greater Los Angeles (GSGLA) and by Pleasant Valley Education Foundation (PVEF) will have their QT registration fees paid directly by those organizations.

For other teams, payment of the QT registration fee may be made by electronic payment to FLL@larobotics.org via Chase Person-to-Person QuickPay (preferred), by check payable to "Los Angeles Robotics", or by Credit Card (via PayPal). 

Payment Instructions for QT Registration Fees
