7. Time to Play Defense. Maybe you haven't heard but FIRST is not shipping out portcullis with any off season field rental. That will hurt gameplay... But we have a solution! We are inviting teams in attendance to build their own defense and showcase it at our event! Judges will judge custom defenses and pick a winner who will receive an award at our award ceremony and an undisclosed prize... The only rules? It must fit on a FIRST Stronghold Defense Platform and must be possible to cross. So no ten foot brick walls. We look forward to seeing your defenses. (This is optional but we think that it will make game play more fun!)
