Bendra informacija
This is a VURC Tournament and will be held at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, KS.
This event is open to all VURC teams from any region. The event will be held in KU's LEEP2 building on Saturday. Each team will receive a minimum 6 qualification matches up to 9 matches (depending on how on time we stay). Which awards qualify for Worlds won't come out until later but Excellence and hopefully Tournament Champions will qualify. If teams are willing to bring and set up a field, they will have one team's registration waived. Reach out to us ([email protected]) if this interests your organization. Your help with additional fields will lead to a better competition experience for everyone.
Digital Engineering Notebooks, In-Person Interviews
It you have any questions, please send them as an email directly to [email protected]. Multiple people are planning different aspects of this event and this shared email will ensure the right person will receive your question.
Payment: Teams who have not paid by the payment deadline will be moved to the waitlist until payment is received. If your team has issues meeting this deadline, please reach out. Depending on the circumstances, teams may still be able to register and pay after the deadline.
Venue: This event will be hosted in KU's engineering complex (LEEP2). Pictures of the venue are in the image gallery (doesn't load on mobile)
Participation and Consent Form: All participants must complete the consent form online before attending the event.
Waiting List: If this event is full, please add your team to the waitlist. Additionally, if your team wishes to bring more than 4 teams to the event, add your additional teams to the waitlist and we will expand the max organizational limit if there are still empty spots.
Pits: there will be 1 pit room. We ask that parents/guests stay out of these rooms as much as possible as there will be other seating for specators. Each team will have a circular table approximately 7 ft in diameter. Each table will have 3 outlets.
Match queuing: there will be a livestream running to the pit room. Pit rooms are only a 1 minute walk from the fields. Each team will be responsible for making sure that they show up to their matches on time. Plan to show up to the queuing table as soon as it opens to your team. We have a tight schedule to keep and will start matches without teams if they are not there.
Food: teams are welcome to bring their own food to the event. There are vending machines in the venue and there is a small coffee shop that sells items like muffins and sandwiches in addition to drinks. This is run by KU dining services so we can’t guarantee they won’t run out later in the day. We are also planning to have the option to pre-order pizza for your team. Details for pizza ordering will be available closer to the event.

Events like this can't happen without volunteers. There are roles that require no prior experience and even opportunities for younger students. We can make arrangements for families to volunteer together. If you are interested in any position, please reach out to [email protected]
Food will be provided for all volunteers.
Additionally, if your team is willing to bring and setup a field Friday night, your team will have their registration fee waived. Please reach out via email ( [email protected]) if you are willing to do this.
Avarinių situacijų / blogo oro politika
The event will be cancelled only under extreme circumstances. If this occurs, teams will be notified through email. How we will move forward depends on why the event was cancelled, but we will most likely try to reschedule.
Refund and Payment Policies
If the Event Partner cancels the event:
This will only happen in the event of an emergency or bad weather and we are unable to reschedule. We will provide as close to a full refund as possible in this extremely unlikely event (certain event funds must be spent before the event occurs and those will not be refunded).
If a Coach/Mentor completes registration for the event then chooses to withdraw or not attend:
Once a team has paid for the event, no refund will be given. Teams who do not pay by the payment deadline will be moved to the waitlist and potentially lose their spot. If special arrangements are made for a team to remain registered for the event after the payment deadline, teams will still be expected to pay in full regardless of whether or not that team attends as we will be unlikely to fill the spot on short notice.

Notebook submission date TBD. Will likely be around 1 week prior to the event.
