2024 Block Party is open for Registration! Note the date is much earlier this year!
September 21-22, 2024
HM Jackson High School, Mill Creek WA
It’s our fourth year on this “block” and we cannot wait to have your team come and play at our house! We’ll have donuts!
We will be playing the 2024 FRC game CRESCENDO with the real FRC field. The event will include a full set of qualification matches, alliance selection, and double-elimination playoffs.
Event Rule Modifications:
- Protected zone boundary tape will be placed inside of Stage truss lines
- The Podium will be an unprotected zone in the last 20 seconds of the Match
- The threshold for the Melody ranking points will be 18/21, as set for PNW District Championship
- Rule G420 (pinning): “Violation: TECH FOUL, and for every 5 seconds in which the situation is not corrected, a TECH FOUL is assessed.” (Changed so that all violations are TECH FOULS)
- Teams from the same school/organization may not pick each other during the first round (1 to 8) of alliance selection.
Team Registration is now closed!
If you registered a team, you will be receiving an email with more information, including billing, shortly.
