General Info
Welcome to the REC Foundation's Remote VIQC Event!
We are looking to use this scrimmage as a great practice opportunity for your team as well as creating a resource for our entire Event Partner community as they begin hosting these in their Regions. Note: The REC Foundation is recording all of the Skills Competition on Saturday, 10/10, to share with others.
Instructions on how/where to sign up for the available time slots are sent upon registering for the event. Be sure to check your spam/junk folder if you don't receive a sign-up email immediately after you register.
Mandatory: All participants (In-person and Remote) must have a Participant Release Form on file. It is the responsibility of the coach to make sure this occurs. A link to the instructions on how to submit a Participant Release Form is found here: https://events.vex.com/consent/
Remote Skills: On Saturday, 10/10, you need
- Tool for sizing (VEX measuring tool, measuring tape, etc.)
- Webcam(s) with GoToMeeting capability. One webcam is permissible if it can view the whole field as well as move around the field via the Head Ref's instructions. Otherwise, additional webcams are needed to accomplish these tasks. Webcams need to log into the event at least 5 minutes before your time slot.
A link to this event's GoToMeeting is in the auto-generated email after registration. Teams should carefully review the VRC Change Up Appendix B section regarding team requirements for Remote Skills Matches: VIQC Rise Above Game Manual (Pay close attention to RSE4 - RSE8)
We at the RECF look forward to hosting your team!
