General Info

We’re very excited that you are looking at the Elk Rapids VEX IQ Slapshot Tournament at Cherryland Middle School.

Non-Judging:  We will not be offering judging.  

Skills: Skills will be available during qualifying matches.  First come - First serve.  Limit - 3 Driver, 3 Auto.  Skills will close at the end of qualifying matches.

Tournament: We will be playing this year's VEX IQ game as a traditional live in-person tournament.  Expect between 5-7 qualifying rounds before finals.  

Additional Notes:

  • Teams are encouraged to maintain 6 feet minimum distance between other teams unless playing in a match.
  • Teams are encouraged to use hand sanitizer prior to placing their robot on the field and resetting game elements.
  • All team registrations MUST BE PAID within 2 weeks of your team registration date and at least 1 week prior to the event.  Failure to meet these payment policies may result in your team being moved to the waitlist.

There will not be food/ concessions available on site, besides the school vending machine. However, there are many great local restaurants/ businesses to get lunch from within a 5 minute drive from the middle school. We would recommend Village Market, Jac’s Parlor, Pearl’s, Town Club, Cellar 152, or Chef Chucks for lunch pickup.
