This unit explores the roles, definitions, and processes of a VEX IQ Robotics Competition tournament.
VIQRC Tournament roles, definitions, and rules remain consistent across most competition seasons. They govern how an event operates, and many of the rules govern behind-the-scenes operations of the event.
Read Section 5: "The Event," “Tournament Definitions,” and “Tournament Rules”—of the VEX IQ Mix & Match Game Manual now, and stop when you get to "Appendix A."
After completing this unit, you should be able to:
Describe the authority and responsibilities of a Head Referee during an event
Recognize how and when a Team can appeal a Head Referee’s ruling
Describe the requirements and tolerances for Match fields and field elements
Recognize how Teams are assigned to Alliances for Finals Matches
Once you’re done, take the "VIQRC Drive Team Training Unit 7 Quiz" in Google Classroom to check your understanding of what you’ve learned.
