Engineering notebooks will be submitted digitally for evaluation via a link found within the "My Account" panel of the team contact. A submission deadline that may be scheduled ahead of the event date. Team Interviews will be in-person the day of the event. Interview times will be scheduled and communicated at check-in. The first two hours of the event is dedicated to skills + interviews. We found this schedule to be effective last year so that the teams had time to complete both since qualification matches move so quickly at a small event.
