General Info

This event is only open to GCPS Schools.

Teams can afford to miss up to two events and still be eligible for the alliance selection process.
Skills will not be run at the first event.
We are looking for volunteers, and will have a volunteer form available soon. However, any volunteers who just show up at meets will recieve training and contribute to our teams getting home sooner, and having things run smoother. If any volunteers are interested in becoming certified as referees, we are looking for assistant referees to help out our head ref, and to officiate scrimmages. The refereeing course is due out in October.

Agenda

Agenda: (will most likely take less time than proposed)

3:30-4:30 Setup and Inspection. All teams will participate in setup, not just the host school. Only the first time a team competes and at the championship will they have a full inspection. Otherwise it will be sizing only. Re-inspection subject to the head referee.

4:30-7:00 Qualifying rounds and Skills. Practice Judges may be around in the pits, or available for teams to schedule time with. No awards will be given but rubrics will be scored and returned to help improve team's abilities.

Cleanup: The last match or two will be played on the host school's permanent field. We must pack up any temporary fields before dismissal. Luckily this does not take much time.

Championship:

8:00 AM Doors.

8:30-9:15 Inspection.

9:30 Opening Ceremony

9:30-12:30 Qualifying Rounds

12:30 (or when finished if earlier) Lunch

1:15 Alliance Selection and Strategizing. All fields will be open after this for practice.
