Purdue SIGBots is excited to host our Override Blended Fall Qualifier Tournament! We will be hosting the competition at the Purdue Stewart Center. The Stewart Center is near the Purdue Memorial Union, and only a short walk from free parking garages.
Purdue's VexU Team, ACM SIGBots, will be in attendance and welcomes all teams who are coming to have fun and compete. They will also be ready to answer any technical questions teams may have with VEX hardware and/or PROS.

Emergency/Bad Weather Policy
If an issue or safety hazard arises during the event at the Stewart Center, immediately find and notify anyone wearing a black SIGBots shirt. For building wide emergencies, listen for Purdue University alerts: a building fire alarm means you must immediately evacuate using the stairs, while outdoor sirens mean you must shelter in place inside the facility. For severe, life threatening medical emergencies or fires, call 911 first, and then inform a black shirted staff member so they can help guide emergency responders to your location.
Refund and Payment Policies
Event payments are expected to be paid when you register for the event and must be completed prior to the deadline. Teams that have not paid will be moved to the waitlist to allow teams on the wait list to register. Please contact us if there are considerations to be made.
If the Event Partner cancels the event:
All refunds will be repaid (We apologize, but these checks will be written from a student’s personal bank account & slowly reimbursed to the student over several months so we have no other option) with checks sent out within 1 month of the cancellation.
If a Coach/Mentor completes registration for the event then chooses to withdraw or not attend:
All requests for refunds must be made 4 weeks prior to the event. Refunds will be processed within 1 month following the event
