We'd prefer to attend a Week 2 event, which would mean either San Diego or Central Valley, if we're not traveling cross-country... which we're not.
Having never been to these venues I was hoping those who had could give us some feedback on the following qualities: - How the event was run
- Number of matches
- Ease of pit-to-field movement
- Level of competition ("big" teams aren't a negative!)
- anything else you can think of
SDR is close, but at an open-air fairgrounds arena. And CVR is far and in a high school gym and adjoining buildings. I'm sure both have their ups and downs. So, let me hear what you've got! We have a week to decide. |
My opinions:
The venue at CVR is actually fairly nice.
Yes the pits are in a separate building, but the covered walkway between the two provides good shelter from rain, if there is any, but usually from the sun. It's about a 75-100 yard walk, but all smooth concrete.
The atmosphere is excellent and the volunteers are treated very well!
The level of competition is usually on the upper end. Multiple world class teams compete here regularly. You will likely see 254, 973, 1671, and 1678 just to name a few.
Over all, I think you will enjoy CVR.
