Welcome to the Garland ISD Push Back Invitational at North Garland HS.
Our tournment is in the cafeteria area at North Garland HS. We will have two competition fields, a practice field in the pit area, and two skills fields for your all your skills runs. We expect to offer eight qualification rounds to each team to allow the best teams to rise to the top twelve elimination alliances. We know travel can be far in this large region, but we will be starting our event on time so as not to extend the event unnecessarily. There is a map in the documents section of the Robot Events page for this tournament showing where the entrance is and where is a good place to park buses. There will be a snack concession stand and I will send an email for pre-planed lunches when I have that plan finalized.
See you in February!
