2026 University of Kansas LEEP Back VURC; Lawrence, KS

基本訊息

This is a VURC Tournament and will be held at the University of Kansas in Lawrence, KS.

This event is open to all VURC teams from any region. The event will be held in KU's LEEP2 building on Saturday. Each team will receive a minimum 6 qualification matches up to 9 matches (depending on how on time we stay). Which awards qualify for Worlds won't come out until later but Excellence and hopefully Tournament Champions will qualify. If teams are willing to bring and set up a field, they will have one team's registration waived. Reach out to us ([email protected]) if this interests your organization. Your help with additional fields will lead to a better competition experience for everyone.

Digital Engineering Notebooks, In-Person Interviews

It you have any questions, please send them as an email directly to [email protected]. Multiple people are planning different aspects of this event and this shared email will ensure the right person will receive your question.

Payment: Teams who have not paid by the payment deadline will be moved to the waitlist until payment is received. If your team has issues meeting this deadline, please reach out. Depending on the circumstances, teams may still be able to register and pay after the deadline.

Venue: This event will be hosted in KU's engineering complex (LEEP2). Pictures of the venue are in the image gallery (doesn't load on mobile)

Participation and Consent Form: All participants must complete the consent form online before attending the event.

Waiting List: If this event is full, please add your team to the waitlist. Additionally, if your team wishes to bring more than 4 teams to the event, add your additional teams to the waitlist and we will expand the max organizational limit if there are still empty spots.

Pits: there will be 1 pit room. We ask that parents/guests stay out of these rooms as much as possible as there will be other seating for specators. Each team will have a circular table approximately 7 ft in diameter. Each table will have 3 outlets. 

Match queuing: there will be a livestream running to the pit room. Pit rooms are only a 1 minute walk from the fields. Each team will be responsible for making sure that they show up to their matches on time. Plan to show up to the queuing table as soon as it opens to your team. We have a tight schedule to keep and will start matches without teams if they are not there. 

Food: Teams are welcome to bring their own food to the event. We will provide more details later for lunch but we will likely have the options for teams to order in pizzas. The LEEP2 coffee shop will be open for breakfast and lunch. They have grab and go style pastries and sandwiches as well as drinks.
