What it takes to Host a Offseason

[Mark McLeod]

The full field and FMS can make do on a 15a circuit, but it must be on it's own separate circuit. You don't want one power drill too many taking down the entire field.
A quad box for the field is typical.

Pit power varies by off-season venue.
Teams need a battery of battery chargers, laptop+driver station, and power tools. You can estimate the power drain per team by adding up what's typical for the teams in your area, then see how that divides into 20a circuits. You might supply four pits with one 15/20a quad box if they aren't plugging bandsaws and mills in.
Do you have access directly to electrical panels and the venue electricians to run power to each pit? (best)
Do you have to rely on 100' extension cords run down the hall to separate circuits?
Is it easier to setup strategic battery charging stations and power tool use areas around the school/venue perimeters to handle the heavy power items? Then pit power requirements are much lighter.

The worst thing is to not think about power requirements at all and invite chaos as team plug in willy-nilly wherever they can find an open outlet.
