There are 4 divisions(Archimedes, Curie, Galileo, Newton).
The pit area is in the next door convention center.
Each division is like a large regional of it's own. They do qualification matches with one another. On Saturday they do the final qualification and elimination rounds. Teh winner of the four divisions do a final four on the main field (Einstien) til there is a winner.
Basically it's like a uber-super-gigantic regional.
