We have reserved the gyms for Saturday, February 14th (I know, it's Valentine's Day) if we need to reschedule.

Webcast
We will try to get around our web filter, but last year went smoothly as we did not use the School Internet.
Our Web Filter is pretty tough, this means we can't use Vex VIA but a smooth tournament is our priority!
Judging Format
All In-Person Judging - The Team Interviews and Engineering Notebooks will be judged in-person the day of the event. Teams should bring a physical copy of their notebook to submit to the judges.
