DETAILED QUALIFIER SCHEDULES:

Teams are typically randomly assigned a pit number. You read the team’s schedule from left to right in your “row”.
There are 5 activity slices  with each slice having 1 activity:  4 slices are related to Robot Game and 1 related to Judging (all 3 judging areas as 1 activity).

12 team tournament schedule
16 team tournament schedule

For the Robot Game,  each team will have 1 practice (ie unscored) round which will be their first one of the day and then 3 scored rounds
For Judging, each team will see 3 different panels of judges for 10 minutes each with a 5 minute break in between.
So a team goes to a different judging room every 15 minutes for 45 minutes total out of the 60 minute activity slice.

All team members are expected to attend all activities

Table A & Table B  are the official robot competition table pair used for robot game
The 3 judging sessions are labeled “P” for project,  “D” for robot design and “C”  for core values.  There may be a “-”  bye or free slot in the schedule.

Pit Practice tables are first come, first served for only 3 to 5 minutes at a time (NO PROGRAMMING) and are to be used per the NorCal Pit Practice Table policy
(see all official policies)
