Local Official Organizers, are organizations that do not have the National level authorization from an International Worldwide Organization but do have authorization at a local level (province, district, or any other geographic division), so they can carry on Local approved events for the WRO, FLL, Robocup Junior, etc.

Prizes
Each National or Local Organizer establishes its own prizes for the players. They can be tokens, cash, or in-kind, but there will always be prizes for participating.
Once Teams are registered in your competition
Once your competition teams are already registered in a competition, the next step for them will be to access the competition directly in their VRTK software in the competitions section. You can create as many competitions as you want. But be careful not to spoil your reputation with empty competitions. Start with by invite-only events and once you have a reputation, you can proceed with open to the public competitions.
About the Tokens
Either players or teams, every time they upload their points and results, they will need to use tokens. They can buy their tokens in the Marketplace, to be able to play as much as they want. But you can also sponsor the tokens to your participants and give it to them for free.
About the Sponsors
Robot Virtual Games allows Organizers to upload as many sponsors as they want. There is not an extra cost for doing that, and all the revenue made from sponsors will go directly to the Organizers. RVG may in the future, in order to become sustainable, use advertising campaigns inside the competitions or even charge a minimum fee for a banner or page of the sponsors.
