This article outlines the communications, production, and setup requirements Event Partners must meet, including broadcasting, sound, branding, displays, and sponsor coordination.
Definitions of the terms used here are maintained in the central glossary.
Communications and Production
VEXvia
The event broadcasts to VEXvia, the Global Robotics mobile app, during the event. A live stream of the event is strongly preferred.
If music is played over a live stream, the Event Partner is responsible for making sure proper licensing is in place and no copyright laws are violated.
Venue Sound System
The venue has a clear, audible sound system.
Video Overlays
If the event uses cameras, it must use video overlay on the competition fields during Qualification and Finals matches. If the event does not use cameras, at least one audience display must be visible to the audience.
Branding
All custom artwork that uses VEX or Global Robotics logos must be approved by Global Robotics Marketing before printing.
Event Setup
Event setup and decoration must be finished before scheduled team check-in, with competition fields set up properly for matches.
The event uses the appropriate displays in Tournament Manager.
Queue Displays
A Field Queue monitor is present on each competition field.
Pit Displays
Pit displays are visible throughout the venue.
Sponsor Coordination
If Global Robotics secures a sponsor to support the event, the Event Partner follows the sponsor's deliverable guidelines when possible. Official Global Robotics sponsors and partners may set up a booth or display at the event.
