514’s Match Schedule
The practice match schedule will be available Thursday morning. Qualification matches will be available Friday morning. Lastly, playoff match schedule isn’t created until Saturday afternoon. The match times can change depending on delays at the event.
When available to us, we’ll include a screenshot of our schedule below. For the most up-to-date match schedule information, visit The Blue Alliance (they tend to run behind schedule!).
Can friends and family attend in person?
Yes! If you’re able to attend, we’d highly recommend it. It’s a great experience!
When and where should I go?
The competition takes place over three days – March 19th, 20th, and 21st at the David S. Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex at Hofstra University. Click here for a link to Google Maps to get directions. Parking and admission is free.
Here’s a general overview of what happens each day:
- Thursday – Practice Day. This is the day teams adjust to playing on an official field. None of the matches count for official ranking.
- Friday – Qualifiers. This day starts qualification matches. The competition heats up as teams start earning Ranking Points!
- Saturday – Playoffs. The first few hours of the day finish up qualifiers. Then, playoff matches begin!
If you’re able to, you are welcome to attend all three days! However, if you pick one day to attend, we would recommend Saturday.
