The Missouri/Kansas FIRST Tech Challenge Region covers both Missouri and Kansas. In order to give all teams across the two states ample opportunities to compete with their robots, we use a League model for competitions. The League Play system operates under a community model and teams are expected to contribute to its success. Each team is expected to submit at least two volunteers during the season. Leagues are made up of no more than 36 teams that are located geographically close.
Meet Schedules and Coach Packets
Each team plays in three Meets, with six matches in each half-day (3-4 hours) Meet. Meets run from November 2, 2024 - January 11, 2025. These Meet Events are game play only, with no judging. If a team plays in all three Meets, the teams will accumulate 18 match results. The top 10 match results out of those 18 matches will carry forward to the League Tournament (LT).
Below are the Meets for the SW League.
