BUTTERNOVA LEAGUE ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS

Teams must be registered in VEXevents as a high school team. Beyond that, priority will be given to programs that are hosting a GRSF event or events this season and independent teams that may not be in a position to host a tournament on their own. Space permitting, teams that do not meet the hosting requirement may be admitted.

Teams that wish to register for the league should add themselves to the waitlist. 

 

MISCELLANEOUS INFORMATION

• We will be using Smart Field Control connect to fields.  
• The Judging Format will be Remote Engineering Notebooks/Remote Interviews for this event. All engineering notebooks must be submitted digitally via VEXEvents by Tuesday November 10 5:00 pm to be reviewed by judges.
