166 has been running an off-season event in early June/late May since 2005 and I don't think we've ever had any visiting teams sit out from playoffs. We achieve this by pulling ourselves from playoffs and due to the continued help of 1519. They haven't missed any of our events and always have their practice robot available if we need to even up alliances.

If we're at 16 teams, then we will pull ourselves from playoffs. If we're at 17 teams, then 1519 runs their practice robot and everything shakes out.

We're committed to making sure that every visiting team has a full competition experience at our events and, thankfully, we have nearby teams to thank for helping us with that.
