Off Season Competitions?

[Libby Ritchie]

I realize it's REALLY early to start talking about off-season competitions, but we are trying to set our calendar for post-FIRST events. Does anyone know of off-season events taking place across the country and when those would be?

Team 166 from Merrimack, NH is holding a demo/competition if we have enough interest on the 4th of July. This is always a fun event that gets local publicity and recognition of the program, teams interested may contact me at Soccagirl3@aol.com or throught the forums!

95 will be holding a post season comp in, here in Lebanon NH.

It will be sometime in mid May, I belive the 18th, but don't take my word for it. If we get a good response we'll probably do it again next year. So, if your interested let me know and i'll pass along any info you need.

I know of a few in the New England area..

Mayhem on the Merrimack at Tyngsboro High School, MA
BattleCry@WPI in Worcester, MA

and I think there's one called River Rage or something.. probably in Connecticut but we haven't competed there.

River Rage is actually in Massachusetts somewhere, I forgot where it is but I did go do it last year. There was also Bash at The Beach in CT at Lime-Old Lime High School put on by team 236 the Techno-Ticks. That was a fun event!

I need dates for these as well ASAP so if you are on the planning comitee for these please give up some info!

We plan on an IRI again this year, but details on the location and date havent been set...we will worry about that after nationals

I cant speak for them because its not my team but Wissahickon has had an offseason competition in the past and i think they might have one again.

I also want to thank wissihickon now for last years Ramp Riot. It was great

Alas, the the possibility ofr a competition at EAA is no more... but there is still hope for us to hold an off season competition! Keep your fingers crossed!!

the Chief Delphi Invitational (CDI) usually happens late in the year (october/november).

[Libby Ritchie]

My husband and I (from teams 393 and 234) had a meeting with the Indiana State Fair. They are trying to work with us in order to get it set up to run during the State Fair in order to gain more exposure. Keep your fingers crossed! Should be neat!
