General Info

The PYRS Season Opener is the first Tournament of the BC Competitive Robotics Season. It attracts a broad range of early stage designs and implementations as teams subject their concepts and ideas to the rigours of real world game play.

Experienced coaches reinforce the value of prototyping early and often and the BC Season Opener is a good place to start. 

The BC Season Opener is a qualifying event.

Team cancellation

Registered teams needing to cancel will be eligible for a full refund if notification of cancellation is submitted prior to freezeing (publication of) the qualification match schedule.
