         <description><![CDATA[<p>Preferencing lets your team tell us which qualifying events it can attend and which it prefers. It is a request for placement, not an event assignment. FIRST Texas will review responses and confirm placements after each round. <strong>We will try our best to get people into their preferred event but it will depend on amount of teams applying for a particular event and capacity at the event.</strong></p><ul><li><p><strong>Round 1, September 25–October 9 (open 8:00 am CT, on September 25, 2026, and close 11:59 p.m. noon CT on October 9, 2026) </strong>&nbsp;Select your first and second choice for your first qualifier from the fall events below. Choose two different events your team can attend.</p></li><li><p><strong>Round 2, October 26–November 19(open 8:00 a.m CT on October 26, 2026, and close 11:59 p.m. noon CT on November 19, 2026.)</strong>: Submit preferences for your second qualifier. This round will focus on January events; separate event choices and instructions will be shared.</p></li></ul><p>Please respond early if your plans are known. Sending a preference early helps us gauge demand; it does not by itself confirm a place at an event or give your team priority for a particular event.</p><p><em>The October 24 qualifier is coming up quickly. If your team can attend, include it among your Round 1 choices. Submit your preferences promptly so we can plan for teams interested in this early event.</em></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Submit your Round 1 preferences: </strong><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="x_x_OWAAutoLink" href="https://nam10.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fforms.cloud.microsoft%2Fr%2FPB7CfcS1Hy%3Forigin%3DlprLink&amp;data=05%7C02%7Cedemille%40firstinspires.org%7C5d731a2ecfae4e03c7cc08df1a807128%7C87f3c3bf6dd144ecbd8f99e4e622ef84%7C0%7C0%7C639258811121032172%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&amp;sdata=TjgKjJg9aW88kzBhjOQ%2F%2BAmGkxHhi7tAPcNc51PWuuM%3D&amp;reserved=0"><strong>South Texas FTC event preference form</strong></a></p>]]></description>
