MATCHES & JUDGING

• Each team will have six qualifying teamwork challenge matches. The final round will proceed with 2-team alliances.
• With it being early in the season, please familiarize yourself and your teams with the RISE ABOVE official rules. The GAME MANUAL is a good place to start! We also highly recommend watching the Referee Training Videos so that everyone has a clear understanding of all game rules.
• We will potentially have a modified judging process that could a video submission for pit interviews and/or partially virtual judged interviews.  We will update as soon as we finalize that process.  We will use the official Design Award Rubric to determine Excellence and Design Award winners.
