An open competition would be nice.

This year we also had one...we beefed the mentor matches up this year...We ran 6 mentor matches...3 teams per alliance, so a total of 36 teams...this was separate from the regular competition.

The 2 alliances out of all those alliances that had the highest scores, competed in a 1 match winner take all match to be crowned mentor match champions...this year we happened to win along with our partners 40 and 121

FIRST has typically been hands-off for anything to do with the off-season.
As has been stated the local organizers can pretty much do whatever they want with the rules and invitees. The model used by most FRC off-season events is usually based on the past year game, but really you could almost do whatever you want. FIRST does "let" organizers use an official field from FIRST (with limits). We are lucky in this area that the Goddard field is an option. With Mike Wade's passing, the system for that is being ironed out but there is a lot of support to keep this an option from a lot of dedicated people included those at Goddard.

Running an off-season FRC event is a lot of work. But it also can be a lot of fun, and is a team-building venture of another sort-working with lots of people.

There were numerous "off-season" or "on-season, but not official" scrimmages this year involving Vex robots. Same for the FIRST LEGO League robots.
