The organizers would have to state their purpose, but overall I would say this was more demo than anything else (as opposed to Regional, district, or off season competition).

The purpose was to give something back to TARDEC by adding a new level of excitement to IGVC. TARDEC has graciously supported FIRST and now FiM by building the fields and funding the events.
Of course, getting FiM some face time with the universities, defense contractors, the directors of TARDEC, and our political leaders, had a lot to do with our reasons for creating the IGVC Invitational.
Oh, and BTW, we figured the teams would enjoy getting more than 15 more matches with and against each other – for free.
