General Info

Welcome to the VRC High Stakes Tournament at Huguenot High sponsored by Mountain Farm Robotics. This event will be a 40-team tournament for high school and middle school teams. Teams should expect to have about 6 qualification matches and 3 opportunities each per driving and autonomous robot skills challenge. Expect the eliminations to have 16 alliances of 2 teams. 

 Registration fees must be paid by Fed 1st or your team will be moved to the waitlist.

We plan to have concessions (water, coffee, snacks, candy) and will provide lunch order forms about one week before the tournament. We will also be able to take lunch orders on the day of the tournament.

Please do not hesitate to call us with questions or concerns.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Emergency/Bad Weather Policy

An email will be sent out to each team's primary and secondary POC in the event of bad weather. Teams should note that Richmond weather may differ from Northern Virginia and teams should plan accordingly. This tournament will only be canceled if Richmond schools close due to weather. If a singular team is unable to make it due to weather, unfortunately, we will not offer refunds to no-shows due to poor weather.

This event will go on rain or shine. However, in the event of a full snow cancellation, we will offer refunds of $75 per team. 

Refund and Payment Policies

There will be no refunds outside of a full event cancellation. We are willing to work with teams if we can find a team to take their spot.
