General Info

Competition Preparation

UPDATE: 1-11-2022 CCS Schools is now MASK mandatory. All participants and spectators will be required to wear a mask throughout the event. Additionally, we will be using the driver configuration where the students stand at opposite ends of the field for the Teamwork Tournament. Coaches and students only allowed in the pit area. Coaches wrist bands will be given to school Head Coach to distribute to other team coaches.

1. Review the rules and run through the inspection checklist about a week before the competition so that there is ample time for adjustments. The inspection checklist can be found here.

2. Check the official VEX forums for rule updates and changes.

3. Carefully read all of the information contained in the tournament posting on events.vex.com

8. Remember that safety comes first, please don't bring tools that pose a safety risk to your team, or others nearby as the venue is a very tight fit. Also, remember no grinding or other actions that create sparks.

Emergency/Bad Weather Policy

If CCS VEX has to cancel the event due to an Emergency / Bad Weather refunds will be sent out, minus the RECF $5 processing fee.

Refund and Payment Policies

No refunds will be given for teams, if the event is held, regardless of the reason, once the event closes.

As with last season, we are unsure of how COVID-19 will impact the tournament season. Our goal is to host all of our events as long as policy will allow. Even if it means the event is closed to spectators and/or limited to the number of adults per team permitted in the facility.

Teams that are unable to attend due to Covid-19 will need to reach out to the event partner so they can move the team to the waitlist and open spots for other teams to compete. These changes need to be made prior to the event closing.

If CCS VEX cancels the event due to COVID, full refunds minus the $5 REC processing fee will be done.

Health and Safety Policies

UPDATE: Effective 1/11/2022 Until further noice, all participants and spectators will be required to wear a mask when inside a Cabarrus County Schools facility.
