General Info
Thank you for your interest in the Southeastern Michigan Fall VEX V5 Robotics Competition™ League!
Leagues are an excellent way for new teams to gain experience in a less stressful environment, while experienced teams can use league sessions to test new strategies and troubleshoot issues with less competitive pressure.
This year’s league will feature five small qualification sessions:
-
Teams will choose two or more sessions to attend.
Teams that attend two or more sessions will be invited to the League Finals on Saturday, December 5
- Teams that decline their invitation to the League Finals are free to attend other events on that day, including signature events.
Key Details:
-
Qualification sessions are on weekdays, allowing teams to participate in Saturday competitions as well.
-
Session capacity: Notre Dame – 20 teams, Cranbrook – 18 teams, Imlay City – 16 teams.
-
Session assignments begin Monday, Sept. 14. Teams registering after this date may have limited options.
-
Teams may trade session spots with at least 24 hours’ notice.
-
Teams can register for more than two sessions if extra space is available.
-
Not all qualification sessions will include Skills matches. Skills will be offered at the league finals tournament.
We look forward to a great season and hope your teams enjoy the flexibility and opportunities this league provides!
