Teams will get 6 matches total during qualifications. This is important to stay on schedule to maintain that 6 match schedule. So matches will only run a max of 1 minute behind for late teams or teams having problems with connection issues. If there are field problems and we get more than 1 minute behind schedule, then time will be caught up in between matches until back on schedule.
Volunteer
Volunteers are the lifeblood of any event. This event would not be possible without the hard work and effort of our volunteers. All volunteers will receive lunch, and training on the day of the event. This event is designed to introduce volunteering at VEX Robotics Competition Events, and is a great way to learn the game and all the volunteer roles before we reach later events and the State Championship in March.
