Hi, Can I get clarity on this age question/response? Based on what’s posted on the website, it looks like it’s now grade based not age based, so I want to make sure I understand correctly. As it reads now, I think a 15 year old can compete in FLL challenge on a division 2 team if in grade 8, but if a 13 year old is accelerated and in 9th grade they have to move to ftc or frc, is that right? Per site ( https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://va-dcfll.org/fll-c/teams/div-system/__;!!N6YHze6lT7thMl0!MtnoVRUYOmCG5rjiGWNs2j2gfpGUpySrk2pxaJE45jRfhI_zRu3QJgDWvlJE47kimqbyCcJI9lD_lfO8lHXGpOEDBA$ ) “ The criteria for age divisions in VA+DC *FIRST*® LEGO® League was updated during the 2023-2024 season. Now, the criteria is primarily grade-based. - If all students are Grade 5 and under: Division 1 - If any student is Grade 6 or over: Division 2” On Wed, Aug 9, 2023 at 10:59 AM [log in to unmask] < [log in to unmask]> wrote: > *CAUTION: *This email originated from outside of JMU.
