All FIRST teams who wish to participate in Oregon must register with both FIRST and ORTOP each season*. The FIRST fee helps cover the expenses of program development, while the ORTOP fee helps cover the expenses of program delivery. Both FIRST and the local Program Delivery Partners like ORTOP and FIRST Washington use contributions from corporate and individual donors to help reduce or eliminate these costs when needed.
We are asking teams to pay a one-time Season Registration Fee. This will cover a team’s participation in a qualifying event or league, as well as participation in any non-competitive programming, such as workshops, kickoff events, FIRST Fair, etc. The value teams will receive is much the same as it has always been, but we hope this model will be simpler and more flexible in the long run.
As we have in the past few years, there will be a sliding scale in place to reduce the registration fee even further for those teams in need.**
