By the way, will there be any practice matches/practice area at the event?

Historically there hasn't been and I don't expect that to change.

Is there a schedule for RR yet? Mostly looking for start and end times and I can't seem to find it on the website.

A packet has been sent out to team leader / team mentors who signed up with the RR staff. I think two revisions went out today. Not sure if / when it was going to be made public. From what I recall, pits open at 07:00 with opening ceremonies at 08:30. Elim matches would start at ~13:00 and awards at 16:00.

Hey all, check out the webcast! We've got two going, one with audio in 1080p on twitch.tv/FRCGamesense and a stream with all cameras on simultaneously but no audio at http://www.youtube.com/user/FRCTeamsGlobal/live. You can lower the quality on either of them if you have a slower connection or are on mobile, so check it out!

So much fun! Thank you everyone who worked so hard to put on this amazing event. We thoroughly enjoyed RiverRage 20!

Team 1058 had a lot of fun at RiverRage 20! Thank you to all who helped put on the event. Our recap video is available here for all who are interested.

I think I can speak for my team and say that 1073 had a blast at RiverRage as always! Incoming rookies had their first taste of competition and got to see why we all love FIRST and FRC. Huge thanks to all the teams that hosted the event and the volunteers! You guys make the world go 'round.

All the matches from yesterday are up on the GameSense YouTube page. You can find a playlist of all the videos here. Right now, there's no info on TBA, but once that gets added, we'll link them there as well.

A big thanks to everyone at the event and at FIRST for all the help and making this happen. It was a ton of fun to broadcast a great event, and it's always a ton of fun to work with all the folks in Manchester. We'll also be webcasting Battle of the Bay on 11/12, so make sure to tune in then as well!

5813 had a fantastic time working with 238 and 1058 for our first ever event win! Our alliance worked to well together, and I hope that we get to work with both 238 and 1058 in the future. It was also nice to see all of my friends on other teams. Congrats to 166, 125, and 78 for putting up a good fight! Thank you to all of the volunteers and 131, 238, and 501 for hosting! We had a great time.

Emile, thank you so much for recording and posting the videos of our elimination matches. See you at Battle of the Bay.

P.S. After River Rage, Goatnado has now played exactly 100 qualification and elimination matches!!!

Congrats to the winning alliance made up of several of our friends on 5813, 238 an 1058. I couldn't believe 238 was pulled out of the pumpkin on the first shot for 5813 AND that 1058 WASN'T pulled during the first round of choices. You guys played extremely well together. Congrats specifically to 5813 on the first ever event win!

Thanks to the host teams, 131, 238 and 501 for putting on a very fun event. Michael Phelps and Team USA are very happy to be bringing home 2 of your awesome trophies.

Thanks to all the volunteers who took the time to run another River Rage and especially to everyone past and present who have kept the event running for 20 years! Events like these have a large impact on the growth of teams & relationships. This was my 10th River Rage and it is a highlight every year. Thank you to 131, 238, & 501!

Thank you to Francis and anyone else involved in running the webcast and archiving videos!

5813 it was a pleasure not only getting to play alongside you and make an attempt to keep up with your ridiculous scoring, but also to see you guys take home your first win! Great work you have much to be proud of from your rookie season! 238 it was a pleasure playing with you guys again after our short run up in Maine! It was a one of a kind alliance we and we are honored we got a chance to play with both of you!

166, 125, Michael Phelps, & 78: Thank you for two fun playoff matches!

Fun for you, maybe! Your alliance gave a solid beat-down in both matches!

Fun fact: Since the introduction of 3v3, this may have been the first alliance where 166 was the highest number. #justnewenglandthings

Curiosity question: what is the head ref calling at the blue driver station? https://youtu.be/0_AD7cehEOc

There were ~9 boulders behind the station at the end of the match
