Structure

Every event is a little different, but they all follow the same formula. We load-in, play qualification matches which feed into an elimination tournament, then head home to do it again.

Load-In

Before matches can start, we need to get everything set up. The load-in window is our time to do that.

Qualification Round

Qualifications (or quals) makes up the bulk of an event. Teams play Qualification Matches to earn Ranking points, and earn their seed for alliance selection.

Elimination Round

After the qualification round, permanent alliances are formed and play a double-elimination bracket to determine the event winners.

Awards

Throughout the event a team of judges visit the pits and hold interviews to determine a range of judged awards.

Load-Out/Unload

Once we've played our last match (either from being eliminated or unpicked) we'll begin taking down the pit, and unload everything into the shop when it gets home.
