This brings the amount of MAR Week 0/Off-season events to what, 8? (41's Scrimmage, Monty Madness, Midknight Mayhem, girlPOWER, Duel on the Delaware, Ramp Riot, Brunswick Eruption, and now this?) ;)

Re: Offseason Event - H.E.R.E. @ Stevens
 

So this is happening ... just as i graduate

(also is it 24 or 32 capacity, as per your link?)

Re: Offseason Event - H.E.R.E. @ Stevens
 

The target capacity at the moment is 24 teams.

We are trying to fit more, but we currently have a working field layout for 24 teams.

Re: Offseason Event - H.E.R.E. @ Stevens
 

cool cool. well i'll have graduated by then and still not 100% where ill be at the time.

But looking for volunteers? 16 year vet, mostly inspecting and reffing the past 5 years for anything that runs on long island FRC/FTC.

Re: Offseason Event - H.E.R.E. @ Stevens
 

Being that we want to introduce college is high school members, we would like to have as many volunteers be Stevens students as possible.

However, help is definitely appreciated! Thank you for offering! I will keep you posted if we are in dire need of volunteers.

Re: Offseason Event - H.E.R.E. @ Stevens
 

Sounds good, totally understandable (though ill only be a Stevens grad for all of ~3 weeks at that point)

Re: Offseason Event - H.E.R.E. @ Stevens
 

I guess I misunderstood your original post. The 16 year vet kind of threw me of, hahaha. If you are a Stevens student and will just be graduating, there is no problem with having you volunteer! PM me your email, and we will keep you posted!

Thank you very much! Sorry again for the confusion I may have caused.

That being said, we are still looking for more teams.

We need 3 more teams to keep the event going!!
We can only accept 17 more positions!!

Re: Offseason Event - H.E.R.E. @ Stevens
 

This was a fantastic event. Very laid back and enjoyable. The 2v2 matches were a pleasant change of pace. Thanks to Eric, Howard, and all the volunteers that made it happen. 10/10 would go again.

Also that thanks to our partners 25 and 1880. You guys were both great and fun to work with. Hopefully we'll get to see more of 1880 in the future, they're a great crew.

Re: Offseason Event - H.E.R.E. @ Stevens
 

If this event is held again in the future, I strongly suggest creating a website, even if nobody can make a professional one. My team and I found it very hard to keep up to date with events leading up to the competition. In addition, in my opinion, there was not an ample amount of details about the competition: where specifically the competition is being held, the deadline for registration, etc. This was one of the reasons my team decided to drop out at the very last minute.

However, it was the first year this competition was run and I am glad to hear everyone had a good time! I hope to attend next year!

Re: Offseason Event - H.E.R.E. @ Stevens
 

Echoing these thoughts, one of the reasons 2791 didn't sign up for and attend this event is because we couldn't find any information about it anywhere. The only reason I knew it existed was because of the off season events spreadsheet, and from there I couldn't direct anyone to any kind of information about the event.

Re: Offseason Event - H.E.R.E. @ Stevens
 

Another thing that made this event hard to find is that the thread about it is in general Forum not the Off-Season Event Forum. That being said this was a very fun and laid back event. The 2v2 was different and actually worked well for us. Sorry to our elimination alliance mates 369 and 75 for dying during the finals.

Do you happen to have any photos or videos from the event that you are planning on posting anywhere? Hope to be there next year.
