General Info
Note: The date of the final session is changing from 2-Feb-2023 to 26-Jan-2023, one week earlier.
This league is primarily for teams from schools in LAUSD Local District Northwest. Teams from schools in other LAUSD Local Districts may participate if space is available. The league will be meeting in Chancellor Hall (MPR).
When you register for this league, please choose Pay Later as your Payment Method and bring your league fee check for $155 per team to the League Coach Orientation or to the first league session. Please make your check payable to Chatsworth Charter High School Booster Club.
Teams will be invited to submit Digital Engineering Notebooks online and to schedule Remote Judging interviews by December 16, just before the Winter Recess. Remote Judging Interviews will be held during the two weeks before the final league session. Details will be sent to registered teams via email and posted on the Judging Format tab by November 30.
Before your first league session, teams need to upload the release forms for all student and adult team members in RobotEvents.com.
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 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 three 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 Programming 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.
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.
We will have two competition fields and two practice fields at each 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.

Subject: Remote Judging for 2022-23 LAUSD Northwest VEX IQ League at Chatsworth Charter High School
Greetings to all teams participating in the
LAUSD Northwest VEX IQ League at Chatsworth Charter High School
Link to League Website: RobotEvents.com/RE-VIQC-22-9599.html
As you may recall from the league website, this league will use Remote Judging. We will be using the same Remote Judging process for LAUSD leagues and Regional Championships this season that we used for LAUSD leagues and Regional Championships last season. For information about Remote Judging, see Pages 29-31 of the Guide to Judging.
Link to Guide: tinyurl.com/23-RJ-Guide
This league has 24 teams registered. The following six awards will be offered:
Excellence Award (Judged)
Teamwork Champion (2)
Design Award (Judged)
Robot Skills Champion
Judges Award (Judged)
The Excellence Award and Teamwork Champion winners of should qualify for Regional Championships. If a team double qualifies for Regional Championships by winning more than one qualifying award, the extra spot goes to the next highest unqualified team on the Robot Skills ranking at that event. If any spots remain unfilled at Regional Championships, additional teams could be invited from Southern California Region teams on the World Skills Standings. Scoring high on Robot Skills at the final league session is another way to qualify for regional championships.
The Southern California Region currently has 380 Elementary School teams and 203 Middle School teams registered. LAUSD currently has 197 Elementary School teams and 74 Middle School teams registered. LAUSD has 52% of the Elementary School teams and 36% of the Middle School teams in the Southern California Region. We hope to secure approval soon for LAUSD to host two Regional Championships at each grade level.
According to the Qualifying Criteria, 32 Worlds spots are reserved for Southern California Elementary School teams and 19 Worlds spots are reserved for Southern California Middle School teams. Roughly 1/12 of all Elementary School teams and 1/11 of all Middle School teams in the Southern California Region will advance to Worlds.
