Twenty-eight teams of middle school and high schoolers from as far away as Grandville and Alpena competed in the event for one of the four spots to January's state regional competition. The game pitted teams in pairs of alliances against other alliances on a 12-foot square field with the goal of scoring more points through tasks such as stacking cones on goals.
