The FLL Challenge season includes kickoff events, optional scrimmages for practice, official qualifier events, and a State Championship. Teams may advance to the World Festival in Houston in April or other invitational events across the country.
Scrimmages
Scrimmages are an excellent opportunity for teams to prepare for their qualifier tournament. Scrimmages are hosted by community groups and other teams.
Some scrimmages may have a fee that is paid directly to the event organizer (not FIRST South Carolina).
