Sat Dec 13, 2025 TROL / WARS Series #5 - ICO at Story West, Story, IN
This will use the area from the cancelled day of 2025 Flying Pig. For more information, visit the ICO website
This will be a one day National Ranking Event (NRE). Although it is a little farther from Cincinnati, because this is a National Ranking Event, we will make this the TROL/WARS event for this weekend.
This event is included in our 2025-26 TROL/WARS season pass, so entry price is REDUCED if you purchase a TROL season pass (HS student or younger) or WARS season pass (adult above high school age).
Because this event is a National Ranking Event, with additional expenses, it will NOT be completely free for WARS pass holders. TROL and WARS pass holders will get a $10 discount off of the event entry fees when they enter. TROL passholders only, if there is still a balance (possibly $2 to $6) when you finish registering, choose the button to "exit" without paying, and OCIN will pay the remainder. WARS passholders should pay whatever remains after the $10 pass holder discount.
Pre-registration is required even if you have a TROL or WARS season pass. Please help us by pre-registering early. Because this is a National Event, Registration closes on Dec 7. See who's registered
