Mark your calendars everyone, because the Northeast’s biggest, best, and baddest one day mini competition is back, and better than ever! (
Alliteration)
Don’t miss your first chance to get back on the field after the Championship! This event is JUST LIKE A REGIONAL. It is held in a hockey arena, and put up with a professional audio/video production company. We’ve got some surprises planned for Rack n’ Roll, and the competition promises to be fiercer than ever…

The **8th annual Ramp Riot **will most likely be held on November 17th or November 10th.
However, there is some uncertainty about the dates due to the passing of Mike Wade. People are working very hard behind the scenes to ensure that the east coast Fall events ( DoD, NBE, VA Fair, Ruckus, & RR ) all take place as planned.
Hopefully we will hear back soon about arrangements for this Fall.
Thanks for your patience during this difficult situation.
