We have it after school from 3pm to 4pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Not really a lot of time, which is a big problem for the kids who do building events. Luckily, we have a seemingly unlimited supply of free balsa... :D

We have one practice tuesday after school for like an hour....and nobody really does anything. Our team isn't dedicated enough, and i do most of my work at home/ partner's house.

We have a class in school, but nobody does anything, and we also have practices every day(not weekends) after school. It's the after school practices and at home that we really get to studying. Half of my practices are on Monday, I stay till 7 o'clock...

We have work sessions every Saturday from 9-4 but people can come and go anytime during that period. Then middle schoolers can take it after school during the winter sports season of they want, but only 1/3 of our team does that. We also have Thursday sessions after school and athletics (sports are required) from 3:30 to 5:30. Mostly our people study at home.

That's...interesting. Is that done in school? Do you still divvy time up by event, or does it turn into social hour? Does the whole team regularly come?

We do practices every day of the week except Sunday. It's hectic and hard to schedule at times, but the work gets done.

After school, 1-5 times a week for 1-6 hours, joining is optional and does not count for grades.

Yeah, it basically turns into social hour. We don't divvy up time for events. We only have two coaches and no parents so everyone has to learn events by themselves or from people who already do it. With 40 people at invintationals it gets hectic (We forget things, break things ect...) but once we have the final reginals/states team everything gets done.
