FTC Event Types
Workshop - These events can cover a variety of FTC and robotics related topics. They are often hosted by vendors, Affiliate Partners or teams.
Kick-off - Held each September, this event is when the new season’s game is revealed. Kick-off offers the opportunity to see the game reveal live, network with other FTC teams and strategize about the new season.
Scrimmage - a small event run by volunteers, usually a team or Affiliate Partner, good for practice and playing experience. These events do not qualify teams for championship tournaments.
Qualifying Tournament - These events are held in areas with a large number of teams. In these events, teams compete for positions at Championship Tournaments. Qualifying Tournaments include judging and awards.
Championship Tournament - The largest, and sometimes only, regional or state event. Teams compete for a chance to qualify for the FTC World Championship Event. Championship Tournaments may require teams to advance through a Qualifying Tournament structure.
Super-Regional Championship Tournament - New for 2013-2014 - Teams in the U.S. will advance from regional- or state-level Championship Tournaments to compete at one of four Super-Regional Tournaments.

Super-Regionals are FIRST-endorsed events and adhere to FIRST standards for format, judging and awards.
World Championship - This event is the final competition. To compete in this event, teams must win at a Championship Tournament. The 2012-2013 FTC World Championship is April 24-27 at the Edward Jones Dome, America's Center, St. Louis, Mo.
