A nd we need the team to bring their table\, mat and mission model to the sc rimmage\n\n--------------------\n\nBCM Robotics is now accepting applicat ions for the FLL Scrimmage on Saturday\, Oct 26. The Scrimmage will run from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at Bayshore Christian Ministries\,1001 Beech St\, East Palo Alto\, CA (different location than last year).\n\nThe scrimmage is a practice opportunity for the qualifying tournaments in Nov ember.  We will be conducting matches under tournament conditions - match es will run for 2 1/2 minutes and will be scored by referees according to FLL rules.  We'll have pit tables set up for the scrimmage\, and we will have limited practice FLL fields available for testing your robot between official matches. You'll have the chance to run your robot on different fi elds and to see how other teams approach the missions.  Don't worry if yo u can only attempt a couple missions or your missions don't work.  Lots o f teams will be like that\, and your robot’s scrimmage scores do not cou nt towards the awards given at the November tournament.  Also\, there is no judging of robot design\, the research project\, or core values at the scrimmage. Teams are queued for scrimmage matches based on a first-come fi rst-served basis.  We'll keep a running list of teams that want to run a competition match.  We take the first two teams from the list\, have them compete in a match\, and then continue through the list. After a team com pletes a match\, the team can sign up for another match.  We expect to ha ve enough time for teams to run at least 7-8 matches.\n\nTo apply for a sl ot\, please fill out the 2019 Scrimmage Registration Form by October 14.  It has additional information about participating in the scrimmage  including volunteer requirements.\n\nOur capacity is limited to 10 teams right now. If more teams apply\, then BCM Robotics will choose teams with a preference for teams  from East Palo Alto area with an additional pre ference for rookie teams.  We also may open additional slots.  Teams wit h fewer than four members may not be accepted or may be asked to share a s pot with another small team as we want to give the scrimmage experience to more kids.  All teams must provide volunteers or challenge tables and f ield sets in order to participate.  We will let teams know by October 15 if they have a spot at the scrimmage.  We will also have a waiting list in case selected teams decide not to participate.\n\nThere will be a $30 r egistration fee for the scrimmage\, to cover expenses of running the BCM R obotics organization and events. Payments are due October 22.  Please mak e the check payable to 'BCM Robotics' with ‘scrimmage payment' in the me mo section and mail your $30 registration fee to BCM\, c/o Waniya Bryant\ , 1001 Beech St\, East Palo Alto\, CA 94303.\nBCM Robotics will post addi tional information to the TigerBots mailing list as we get closer to Oc tober 26.\n\nRegards\,\nRajesh\nBCM Robotics Coach\n \; CATEGORIES:2019 scrimmages LOCATION:Bayshore Christian Ministries\, 1001 Beech St\, East Palo Alto\, C A\, 94393\, United States X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=1001 Beech St\, East Palo A lto\, CA\, 94393\, United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=100;X-TITLE=Bayshore Chris tian Ministries:geo:0,0 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/Los_Angeles X-LIC-LOCATION:America/Los_Angeles BEGIN:DAYLIGHT DTSTART:20190310T030000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0800 TZOFFSETTO:-0700 TZNAME:PDT END:DAYLIGHT END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
