drawer / Competition & Game
A stand-alone event (used outside district areas) where winning advances a team toward the FIRST Championship.
where you actually meet Regional
At a Regional, one weekend decides your season: win the event, win a qualifying award, or go home. That compresses everything. You get roughly ten qualification matches to prove reliability and there is no second event to bank points at, so teams outside district areas plan their spare parts, battery count, and pit repair capacity around that single-shot reality.
Free and structured, and none of them need an account to read.
