Hosting Events
So you've got the robot combat bug and you want to host an event. There are a lot of things involved so before you host an event you should attend one to learn how they are run. If you are sure you want to make a poor life choice and host your own event, head over to Sparc.Tools for a treasure trove of information. The site has guidelines on Tournament Procedures, Match Rules, Judging Guidelines, and Arena Construction. Once you've read everything then you need to think about where you'll store the arena, how it will be transported, where you will hold your events, how will you get help running them? It's a big commitment and if you are ready to do it the rewards can be terrific but know what you are getting yourself into.
Current Event Clubs
Here is a partial list of robot combat events in alphabetical order.
Some of these groups hold multiple events each year while others hold them less often. Some are actual clubs or organizations while others are just lone individuals putting on events. In all cases they should be thanked! Most use either the SPARC or FRA rules, but if you are planning on competing you should check with each event's organizer for the specific rules they will use.
