Preliminaries

Preliminaries

Competition Starts

All Teams are divided into regions based on geographic location.
Teams can access to three games which include various missions*.
In the missions, students learn and practice the mechanics which they will later use to complete the challenges.
Missions allow students to earn points that will be added to their team's totals.

After 3 Weeks

After 3 weeks, the three Challenges* are OPEN.
The challenges will test all the concepts that the students have learned so far. There is one challenge for each game.
Unlike the regular missions, only the highest scoring student will count toward victory for their team.

After 5 Weeks

After 5 weeks into the competition, the final challenge will be added to the Junior and Pro division - BasketBot for Junior and ToppleBot for Pro. This challenge is structured like all the others but is MUCH harder. At the end of the preliminaries, bonus points are awarded to teams depending on their position on the previous challenge’s leaderboard. These points will be added to the points they earned for missions, and all points together will be called the “overall score” for the preliminaries. ​
Long story short, the more you practice, the better you score, the more chance your team has of GOING FOR THE GOLD!

*Missions & Challenges

Each division will have 3 games broken down into missions. The last mission is your challenge. Start early and persevere, for the challenges will not be revealed until three weeks after the league begins. Teams who participated in previous CoderZ League seasons, this is your opportunity to:

• Improve your results and earn more practice before Fall Season
