Judging Format
Judging Format No formal judging will take place at this event. As this is the first SCBC VEXcellence Tournament, the event will focus on providing teams with a positive competition experience and an opportunity to develop their skills in preparation for future events. Teams are still encouraged to bring and continue working on their Engineering Notebooks. Students can use the tournament experience to record observations, document changes to their robot, reflect on match performance and identify improvements before the WA State Championships. Although Engineering Notebooks will not be formally assessed or submitted to judges at this event, coaches are encouraged to use the day as a valuable learning and development opportunity.
