General Info

This league is primarily for teams from schools in LAUSD Region East. Teams from schools in other LAUSD Regions may participate if space is available. Teams are only allowed to participate in one LAUSD league.

This league is an Invitational event. Instead of the normal registration process, please add your team(s) to the Waitlist in the menu above or to the left of this section. When an Event Administrator moves your team(s) to the Registered Teams list, your team(s) will have the same status as if you had registered your team(s) and chosen Pay Later as your Payment Method.

A League Orientation Workshop for Coaches and Event Volunteers will be held on Friday October 4, 2024. The workshop will have two parts:
•    League Orientation for Coaches and Event Volunteers: 4:00-5:30 PM
•    Equipment setup and logistics for Event Volunteers: 5:30-7:00 PM

Before your first league session, please upload a Participant Release Form for each student and adult team member for each team. Team members who change teams should upload a Participant Release Form for their new team. Adult team members of multiple teams should upload a Participant Release Form for each team.

If you have not already paid, please bring your league registration fee check for $179 per team to the League Orientation Workshop or to the first league session. Please make your check payable to Frank Del Olmo Elementary School.

Teams need to provide at least one volunteer for at least one session. If we do not have enough volunteers, we may not be able to complete all scheduled matches. See the Volunteer tab for details.

Teams will be invited to submit Digital Engineering Notebooks online and to schedule Remote Judging interviews by Monday, December 16, 2024, the first day of Winter Recess. Remote Judging Interviews will be held in January before the final league session. Details will be sent to registered teams via email and posted on the Judging Format tab by November 30, 2024.

This league will be meeting in the Multi-Purpose Room (MPR). We will have two competition fields and two practice fields at each session. Food and beverages may be available for purchase.

Each league session begins with Team Check-in and Robot Inspection. Teams need to check in by 4:30 PM and robots need to pass inspection by 4:45 PM to be included in the Teamwork Challenge match schedule.

At Team Check In for the first league session, teams turn in league registration fee checks, verify that they have uploaded release forms for all team members, and sign up to provide one volunteer for at least one league session.

At the first Qualifying Session, each team will be scheduled in one Teamwork Challenge Practice Match and three or four Teamwork Challenge Qualifying Matches.

At the second and third Qualifying Sessions, each team will be scheduled in four Teamwork Challenge Qualifying Matches.

At the final Championship session in January. teams participate in up to three Driving Skills Matches and up to three Autonomous Coding Skills Matches. Robot Skills Challenge Matches are not scheduled. Judges may also request follow-up interviews with some teams. The Championship session concludes with Teamwork Challenge Finals Matches and Awards.

Emergency/Bad Weather Policy

If any session has to be cancelled, we will offer an additional session.

If league events can’t be held in person indoors, we will explore the possibility of holding the remaining league sessions in person outdoors. If league events can’t be held in person indoors or outdoors, then we will try to convert the remaining league sessions to Live Remote Tournaments. Skills events must be held in person, but it is possible to schedule one team at a time, to hold events outdoors, and to schedule events on weekends in January for better light and temperatures.

If teams are not allowed to meet in person, then teams will be encouraged to try VEXcode VR and to compete with the new VIQC Virtual Skills in VEXcode IQ:
https://www.vexrobotics.com/get-started/vex-vr-skills.

The Event Partner will contact teams if any league sessions must be reschedules or modified. Teams should keep their contact information up to date on RobotEvents.com and include both school and non-school phone numbers.
