No I don't believe it was.

Back in the day here this event was passed around year to year to different schools. I believe it was 11, 303, 25 and 56 that were "taking turns" hosting the event. That didn't last long though .

This too was my first FIRST event. I was a field reset member, good times indeed.

Brandon or Kevin:

do you guys know why we didn't continue along with running this off season if it was so successful?

i honestly don't know, i don't even remember hearing about one the year after that. MORT started going to events like PARC and Miss Daisy's event one year, and then brunswick eruption, duel on the Delaware, bash at the beach. Quite a few events were happening around us, maybe they felt there was no need.

The reason is for what I wrote above...

We were "passing" the competition around. If I am not mistaken I think brunswick eruption followed, however I may be wrong. 303 hosted theirs in 2004 and after that people kind of went on their own.

Offseasons were a commodity back in those days, only a few teams hosted one year after year...
