General Info
Welcome to the Monmouth Spin Up VRC Qualifier!
We are pleased to host our fifth in-person VRC tournament in Monmouth and look forward to reconnecting with teams across the state.
We hope to offer separate MS and HS Excellence Awards, so bring your middle-school teams! We need at least ten to offer a separate award.
Our team will be fundraising by selling breakfast, lunch, and snack items at the event, so bring your appetites and some cash.
A designated cutting station will be provided at the event. Use of power tools is prohibited in pit areas.
We will be collecting physical copies of notebooks on the day of the event. Please submit them at the registration table when checking in.
Event Preparation:
- Review the updated game manual.
