Official tournaments are orchestrated by our FIRST® LEGO® League Partners, who are sanctioned by FIRST® to run an FLL region, a commitment which includes recruiting a Planning Committee and providing year round support. Some regions are large enough to have both a Championship tournament and Qualifying tournaments; some regions only have a Championship, but will add Qualifiers as they grow.

FLL regions are not defined by state/province/country. Many states, provinces, and countries have more than one FLL region and some regions cross state/province/country lines, as with the Virginia/DC region in the US. Some FIRST® LEGO® League Partners allow teams from outside their defined region to participate in their tournament(s); some can only accept resident teams due to venue size. Each FIRST® LEGO® League Partner determines what makes the most sense for their region.

If a team exists in an area that is not yet defined by an FLL region, they can contact the FIRST® LEGO® League Partner(s) nearest to them about participating in their tournament(s).

Most events are free and open to the public. Some local events are conducted, managed, and overseen by the identified organizer, not by or on behalf of FIRST®.
