Question About Early Bird Registration

Hi,

I noticed that robot events has early bird registration and standard registration. I don’t think I have seen this in past years. Does anyone know the difference between the 2?

Check out this topic from a while ago. It looks like Early Bird Registration has been around for a while now.

Thanks! My event region has never used this before so I thought it was new.

Early bird is at the discretion of the region - EPs and RECF EEM and TEM discuss the season.

For MS in our region, no value to have Early Bird… Regions that events fill up in a flash early in the season leaving no opportunities for teams to compete even once, is a good candidate for Early Bird.
