Week Zero 2017 in New Hampshire!

[Mr_I]

Team 811 is pleased to announce that we have been selected to host the Week Zero Event for 2017!

This is a great honor for us, and actually represents a return of FIRST events to Bishop Guertin High School, as the 1993 Championship Event actually took place in our gym (all 25 teams!)

We're looking forward to making this the best event we can. To that end, Week Zero 2017 Registration opens Monday, January 9th at Noon!

See http://www.team811.com/week-zero-2017 for more information.

On one hand, we're sad to see it go, but on the other hand, we're looking forward to having those two days back! It's good to let other teams in the area get a chance to work with FIRST on this. We're just grateful for the opportunity to do so.

However, I can assure you Mayhem in Merrimack isn't going anywhere!

Do any week 0 events besides this one record scores? If so, could someone please send that data to me. I am interested in looking at how well week 1 scores correlate with week 0 scores. I know this is the only one that uses an official FMS, but I think there might be some other more formal week 0 events out there that keep track of scores.

Good luck hosting this event! It is always very useful to see the game played on an official field, and I am happy that I will have the opportunity to fine tune my event simulator this year while watching.

Week Zero events do not have any bearing on overall scores. The dual purposes of WZ are to give FIRST a chance to actually test a field prior to "real" competition (as well as give the Head Refs etc. the chance to see the game played) while giving a few teams a chance to better prepare for the competitions ahead.

Suffield Shakedown Scrimmage is once again hosting the week zero event at Suffield High School! The webpage & facebook page have all the information. As of 10am this morning there were already 19 signed up. As usual we allow more than the cut-off of 30 to sign up, due to some teams that back out. Looking forward to seeing all the teams. Just like last year we are requesting teams to bring parts of their practice field. Contact Linda Horn for more details. We are also looking for a DJ with complete equipment. We are looking for little or no cost, in return their name will be on the website & the scrimmage t-shirts. If anyone out there knows someone who wants to increase their exposure, please contact Linda Horn for those details.
