General Info

This league is primarily for teams from schools in LAUSD Region North. Teams from schools in other LAUSD Regions may participate if space is available. Teams are only allowed to participate in one LAUSD league.

Registration: This league is an Invitational event. Instead of the normal registration process, please add your team(s) to the Waitlist in the menu above or to the left of this section. When an Event Administrator moves your team(s) to the Registered Teams list, your team(s) will have the same status as if you had registered your team(s) and chosen Pay Later as your Payment Method.

Payment: Beginning in the 2025-2026 school year, all registration fee payments by LAUSD school sites must be paid online only using the P-card. League registration fees are $184 per team plus a 3% credit card fee. Please note, all league fees are to be paid prior to the first league session. 

For payments made by others, please bring your league registration fee check for $184 per team to the first league session. Please make your check payable to Mulholland Middle School Robotics

Forms: Before your first league session, please upload a Participant Release Form for each student and adult team member for each team. Team members who change teams should upload a Participant Release Form for their new team. Adult team members of multiple teams should upload a Participant Release Form for each team.

Volunteers: Teams need to provide at least one volunteer for at least one session or as a remote judge for engineering notebooks or team interviews. If we do not have enough volunteers, we may not be able to complete all scheduled matches or remote judging. Judges never evaluate or discuss teams with which they are affiliated. See the Volunteer tab for details.

Remote Judging: Teams will be invited to submit Digital Engineering Notebooks online and to schedule Remote Judging Team Interviews by December 22, 2025, the first day of Winter Recess. Remote Judging Team Interviews will be held in January before the final league session. Details will be sent to registered teams via email and posted on the Judging Format tab by November 30, 2025.

Venue: Our address is Mulholland Middle School, 17120 Vanowen St, Lake Balboa, CA 91406. Parking is available in our front parking lots and on the street. Our league events are held in our Multi-Purpose Room (MPR). We will have two competition fields and two practice fields at each session.

Check In: Doors open for volunteers at 3:30pm and for teams at 3.45pm. Team Check-in and Robot Inspection start at 4:00 PM. Teams are requested to check in by 4:30 PM and robots must pass inspection by 4:45 PM to allow time for preparing and printing the Teamwork Challenge match schedule. We begin the Competition at 5:00 PM!

At Team Check In for the first league session, teams turn in league registration fee checks, verify that they have uploaded Participant Release Forms for all team members, and sign up to provide one volunteer for at least one league session or remote judging.

League Sessions: At the three Qualifying Sessions, each team will be scheduled in four Teamwork Challenge Qualifying Matches.

At the final Championship session in January, teams participate in up to three Driving Skills Matches and up to three Autonomous Coding Skills Matches. Robot Skills Challenge Matches are not scheduled. Judges may also request follow-up interviews with some teams. The Championship session concludes with Teamwork Challenge Finals Matches and Awards.
