However it seems that since there are so many quality off-season events in New England, that teams are choosing only going to the bigger events (BTB and Battlecry).

However there is a unique opportunity next year for off-season events. Since FIRST is raising prices on official events, I believe that teams would go to less official events, and go to more off-seasons. One thing I would believe that would be cool is if FIRST allowed off-seasons during the regular season. You would get a quality competition at 10x (or more) less than an official competition.


This is what we have been doing for years now. I think the off season competition have been great for the money.
