General Info
Welcome to the 8th Annual Sweetwater VEX Robotics Middle School League!
REGISTRATION FOR THIS LEAGUE EVENT IS ONLY OPEN TO SCHOOLS OF THE SWEETWATER UNION HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT.
THERE ARE OTHER REGIONAL OPEN TOURNAMENTS THAT ARE HOSTED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR BY SCHOOLS IN OUR DISTRICT THAT YOU ARE WELCOME TO REGISTER FOR AND ATTEND. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THIS DISTRICT LEAGUE EVENT IS ONLY OPEN TO SUHSD SCHOOLS.
We are excited to have you join us this season! This season we will host four ranking sessions, and one day of finals. Each team will be expected to participate in 3 of the 4 ranking sessions, a required minimum of 75% of the ranking matches during the scheduled league. The registration window closes (Aug 30). If we have new teams, it is my hope that an experienced team will take them under their wings to mentor them during their rookie season. Let me know if you are interested in either providing that support, or if you need it!
