Questions & Answers

• Does Iowa offer qualifier events?
  The FTC program in Iowa has implemented the league format for the past decade. Teams need to compete in meets (between 3-5) and accumulate scores which are then used at the League Tournament.
• My team is not from Iowa. Can we attend your events?
  Unfortunately, the FTC program in Iowa has "closed" borders, so only teams from Iowa are able to participate.
