General Info

Please join us for VEX VIQC Rapid Relay Tournament at Deep Creek Middle School School! This is a blended VEX IQ tournament for both Elementary and Middle School teams and will qualify teams for the State Championship. Admission to the event is $5 per adult.

We will have 1-2  fields available in the morning to practice but we will switch them to competition fields once the tournament starts. Once the tournament starts, skills runs will no longer be available. It is advised that teams bring their own fields to practice on. 

This event is tentative and is subject to cancellation by the school and/or district due weather or any other district/school closures.
