Like previous events, the match structure is composed of qualification matches, followed by a double-elimination playoff bracket within the 2 divisions, Richardson and Ganson. The winning alliances of both divisions face off on a combined field to determine the ultimate victor of the event. Team 4909 played on Richardson Field, where they ranked 13th at the end of qualification matches. Later during alliance selections, the team was selected by Alliance 4, consisting of Captain Team 8709 - Pathfinder Tech, and Team 2648 - Infinite Loop.
