There will probably be some minor tweaks, but nothing to report officially just yet. Stay tuned...

I'm personally hoping for some "golden frisbees" that are worth double points.

LOL... ask FIRST if you can paint some white frisbees gold.
I wonder how the paint would stick, I would imagine the paint would be stripped off (if shot out of a robot).

Hey how about double points for colored (red/blue) frisbees if thrown into a goal by a human player?

[Brandon Holley]

All good suggestions thus far! (Minus the coopertition pyramid :-P).

We're open to all suggestions and will start making the final call on changes post-Championship. Keep em coming!

I like the double points for human player disk scores, it's a little extra reward without getting too overhanded.

What about a 15 point score if a human player can get a red/blue disk on top of the pyramid? Haven't seen that happen yet...

I remember seeing at least two of those scores at GSR, and I've heard of more at other regionals, but they're so rare that I feel like it is definitely worth that many points.

At this point in time we have 32 teams registered for the Blitz this year. We still have open spots so make sure you register soon!

Current teams are shown here

You can register here

If you haven't been to the Blitz before we have one the easiest load-ins ever. You can drive your car right into the arena and up to your pit! It doesn't get any easier than that. All this in addition to a top notch event.
