Beach Blitz 2017

Our committee is excited to announce our final team list! We had a hard time deciding teams, you guys made it tough on us!

36 teams were selected in our 49 team applicant pool. We have a fantastic line up of teams that are sure to make our event competitive.
As always, Beach Blitz’s focus is on the team experience and hope you all will enjoy competing in our 2017 event.

Event Details:
When: Oct 6-8th 2017 (Oct 6 will be a load in day and practice matches if time allows)
Where: Marina High School, Huntington Beach, CA

Merchandise and Food

This year we will be selling shirts + hats. We will be sending more information on pre orders and design near the end of summer. Keep your eye out for them! We will also soon make food preorders and our options sent out in our final team packet in September along with workshop details

Rule Updates

We will be playing a slightly modified version of FIRST Steamworks. Exact rule changes will be posted later in the summer. We do not plan on changing the point values of any scoring tasks and do not plan to change the number of pre-populated gears on the airship. Beach Blitz will most likely utilize the Chezy Champ 2017 updates as they become available.

More details about the event are available at beachblitz.ocra.io (where you can also sign up to volunteer!)

We also have some cool tricks and updates up our sleeve for this years event, can’t wait to show you all :wink:

Should each team do the survey or each person on each team?

Just submitted the form! I had such a great time at Saikran and Shane’s workshops last year, and heard only amazing things about all of the other ones. I’m excited to see some more that I missed last year, as well as any new ones the Beach Blitz team puts together!!

Each person! More opinions the better :slight_smile:

Hi Pauline–

Would you keep us informed about the need for volunteers to help with making Beach Blitz a success?

Of course, we are in need of more judges (any age) and various runners (merch, safety glasses, food) ect!

Can I be a food runner? I was Saikiran’s understudy last year when we went to get In N Out for everyone but this year I think I’m ready to do it on my own.

I don’t remember getting any In N Out… your resume is going in the trash!

Bro I specifically remember you being one of like the three people who said “nah fam, I’m good” when we asked around. But I feel bad you missed out last year, so here’s what I’ll do - this time around when we go collecting orders, I’ll cover yours. Sound good?

Beach Blitz is excited to unveil our 2017 Event Shirts!

Pre Order yours now and make sure to send the form to your teams!

Nice! Just placed my order.

Heelllllla sick shirts. Can’t wait to rock these this October.

Just October? Totally wearing this to kickoff.

Awesome tshirts! I might have to buy quite a few…

Yeah tbh these are better than the Valk shirts, probably just gonna wear this to team events. :rolleyes:

Just one month until BB actually happens!

Reminder to pre order your event shirts!

With just one month away! We will be sending out Volunteer Assignments by the 13th of September!

Keep your eyes peeled!

Will I be old enough for the safety glasses table?
