📋 General Information

Welcome to the Mississippi season opener for the Pinnacle RECF season! Jackson Prep will host the event at the Manning Center where we will have 24 teams battle it out to become the winner of this new and exciting game.  

This is a school only tournament.

It is highly advised that teams either bring their lunch or have someone go get their lunches as there are many food places nearby.  We will start qualification matches sharply at the indicated time on the agenda. With the start - teams MUST be at the fields to get to participate or get points for showing up.

There are no practice fields. As solo matches start, teams may run up to 3 of any coding or driver solos before they have to return to the end of the line.  TEAMS MUST reset the fields after the referees set the score and give an all clear.

Teams are encouraged to bring chairs as there will be 2 chairs per team at the tables. Audience members may bring comfortable chairs as well.

 

⚠️ Emergency Info

If there is an emergency, we have police and fire nearby as well as shelter for inclimate weather.

🧳 Travel Information

Use Google Maps to get to Jackson Prep in Flowood, but the building is at the rear of the campus from the main campus entrance red light. Buses MUST park in the front parking lot as the round-about near the Manning Center is a tight one for buses. Maps will be emailed out as the event gets closer.

🗓️ Agenda

Keep in mind that the agenda can run faster or slower than normal due to many circumstances. If solo matches and interviews are done early or low participation, we will proceed down the agenda with a notice to the audience, coaches, and teams.  The objective is to have fun, not waste time, but have the best competition possible.

⚙️ Judging Format
