Agenda

Notebooks due Friday before the event (8 days before the event) at 4:00 PM

8:00 Doors open, registration, and inspection

IF YOU ARE NOT CHECKED IN BY 8:45 YOU WILL BE LEFT OFF THE MATCH LIST.  IF YOU ARE RUNNING BEHIND CALL ME AT 813 399 6475

9:00 Opening remarks, driver meeting - Robot skills will run until the qualification matches are over.  Get your rounds in early!

 

Matches will run tight.  I will have the Emcee start the matches about 10-15 seconds after the last one ends.  Your students should IMMEDIATELY get back in the queuing line if their division is running.  We will not have the time (or energy) to look for anyone.  The matches will run without you!

5:  FINALS (6 Alliances, 12 Teams)

This is all followed by awards!

I will try and get you all out of there by 2:00, but it could run as late as 5.

Parents and coaches, thank you for helping us run a smooth VEX IQ event!
