I don't know everything, but here's a little...
I have ties to the OCCRA organization(I'm their programmer,) and I don't know all the details, but here's what I do know:
OCCRA is a competition similar to CDI, with a custom game developed, and the machines built by the students entirely. However, the season spans multiple events, with the rankings accumulating over the course of the season and finally determining a team's placement into an elimination tournament at the county(OC=Oakland County) championships. Last year's game was one-on-one, with I believe 17 teams participating at a total of 4 events. Last I heard, they were roughly going to double that number of teams, and that there were going to be 5 regionals, and then the all-county championships. This year's game is still being worked out, which means I'm already hard at work on the new scoring stuff(at least as much as I can do, without knowing the game yet...)
That's about all I can help you myself, maybe someone else can add some more to this?
