General Info
Welcome to the Garland ISD V5RC MS Valentines Tournament at Hudson Middle School. We're excited to return as an event partner in Texas Region 5 and look forward to meeting all the new teams and old friends!
Our tournment is in the gym areas of Hudson Middle School. We will have two competition fields, a practice field in the pit area, and two skills fields for your all your skills runs. We expect to offer eight qualification rounds to each team to allow the best teams to rise to the top sixteen elimination alliances. We know travel can be far in this large region, but we will be starting our event on time so as not to extend the event unnecessarily. There is a map in the documents section of the Robot Events page for this tournament showing where the entrance is and where is a good place to park buses.
See you in February!
