Off season event are team run events that are like a regional but more pared down usually held in a high school gym.
The most famous of these is IRI which is an invitational held in Indianapolis in July and is actually an exception to the rule for most off seasons as it is larger than any regional. This year it had 78 teams and would have had 81 teams if it weren't for some teams dropping out.
Most off seasons usually have around 24 to 36 teams in them and they are not quite as intense as an official FIRST event (again IRI being an exception).
