Application in. I noticed there was no spot for empanada pre-orders though.

The empanadas will be back. I’m trying to make them preorderable, but that’s still up in the air. Stay tuned!

So excited looking at some of the awesome returning and new volunteers this year! We’ll be working on initial assignments next week and then assigning on a rolling basis, so if you have a specific role you want, get those applications in!

Hey! might be a dumb question coming up as i’m pretty new to the whole off-season comps thing. (our team hasn’t ever gone to one in memory haha) Is there anywhere we can see a list of teams that are applied? Thanks y’all!

Nope. But you can look up past Beach Blitzes on The Blue Alliance to get an idea of who attends.

Hey Bay Area teams & volunteers – look what @nfhammes just found! This is a sign to apply to compete or volunteer today if I ever saw one :slight_smile:


*Noting: our venue is closer to SNA than LAX, but you can’t beat a deal!

Vegas, Seattle, Denver – all these places and more have great deals to travel to SoCal this November, hope to see you there.
