3. Once you hit your key volunteers (refs, FTA, scorekeepers, emcee/game announcers, pit admin) and enough people for field reset the rest just depends on how big the event is going to be and how you plan on running things.

You can put on an offseason for pretty cheap.
I've been one of the leads on the planning committee for our offseason event for the two years we've held it. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

Thanks for the response.
We think the field will most likely come from Andymark as it seems like the easiest way to go. for volunteers we will mostly have parent help. for things like refs, fta, and other roles you have to be trained for we will have to get in contact with those people in our area. I know there are people quite close that are trained we just need to get them involved.
Thats good we werent sure. The HHH competition has everything in one gym. Its still well run but a little tight. The nice thing about our school layout is that both cafeterias and both gyms are all in a row. We would most likely have the small cafe as the meal area. The large cafe as the pits. The gym for the event, and the small gym for a practice field plus volunteer space.
we will be measuring the areas to figure out how many teams we can fit pit wise in our large cafe. We are going to start with 7 by 7 pits so teams still have enough room to work on their robots. The gym can fit plenty of people and with small enough pits are cafe can also fit a lot but we have to limit it so we dont get overwhelmed.
We will most likely ask you some questions later about your experience. Ive been talking to my friend from gymnastics who is on 3624 and we will probably get in contact with their whole team later on as they have been doing it for quite a few years.
thanks again
