What is the procedure for registering for the MIT?

We are a west coast team and we are looking to go

Thanks

MIT registration will usually open in mid-September. Last year they set a specific time. Registration closed within 40 minutes and all two-team spots (they limited it) were gone within 2 minutes.

Just wondering, what team are you from?

Ed W. Clark High School. We are really upping our game and we need a higher level of competition so we are planning on Golden Gate and MIT for next year.

Do they open a website with information beforehand?

Thanks again

Their website is usually online but for a while it has been down. I imagine they will relaunch when their season starts.

Hope to see you there next year! It was pretty fun to see your team do well at Nationals this year - which I (sort of) predicted #humblebrag

Thanks we appreciate it. The goal is much higher. What school are you from?

I'm from Chattahoochee (as in my sig). Sadly we didn't do as well as we were aiming for

Generally an MIT thread will pop up on its own, separate from the MA thread, so just keep an eye out for that I suppose

I'd recommend against going to MIT. Looking at the top 11 teams at nationals this year, 5 did not go to MIT. The resources spent going to MIT could probably be spent going to two closer, slightly less competitive invitationals such as Rice, Troy, Mira Loma, and probably others I can't think of right now, or on materials for events. My team, Ladue, only went to one very noncompetitive invitational this year (Northland in Missouri) and placed 11th at nationals, so invitationals are by no means necessary to do well in the first place, let alone invitationals on the opposite side of the country.
