meet at the same day/time to compete in the event. The MINOR events will occur
individually for each team following an instructional meeting in the beginning of the month
to cover any rules. A day/time may need to be scheduled at these meetings to complete
MINOR events depending on the hosting venues. At least one team member participating
in the MINOR event is required to attend the MINOR event meeting prior to the team
competing in the event. If no team members can attend the instructional meeting the
team must schedule a meeting with a committee member prior to competing.
● Each participant is required to complete a waiver prior to participating in any event.
Please send all waivers to ASCECup@gmail.com.
● Each team will designate two representatives on their team as the Team Captain
and Team Co-Captain who will receive all correspondences regarding the ASCE
Cup. It is the responsibility of each team to ensure their company’s information is
correct, complete, and meets all deadlines, as well as information distributed to
each participant on the team for each event.

events and equipment will be provided by the Cup Challenge unless stated

event, except for timed events, to rank teams to earn shields. Additional details on

after the conclusion of all events will win the Cup trophy. No shows and disqualified
