Special Matches

A tradition at WVROX is to do a series of “special matches” where rules are altered slightly to make for more interesting gameplay. Let us know what you’d like to see below!

MARS welcomes all people without regard to race, ethnicity, color, religion, national origin, sex, gender, sexual orientation, ancestry, abilities, economic or family status, life situation, veteran status, or philosophy. We strive to be an inclusive environment for all individuals by advocating for and providing equal treatment to all.

Indigenous Land Acknowledgement

MARS, and the presence of the buildings it uses, resides on land that is the ancestral territory of the Massawomeck peoples. With the statewide STEM outreach MARS provides, this includes the ancestral territories of the Shawnee, Lenape (or Delaware), Cherokee, and Haudenosaunee (or Iroquois--the Seneca, Cayuga, Onondaga, Oneida, Mohawk, Tuscarora), and other Indigenous peoples.

We recognize and appreciate all those Indigenous nations whose territories we are living on and working in. Indigenous peoples have been in the land currently known as West Virginia since time immemorial. It is important that we understand both the context that has brought our community to reside on this land and our place within this long history. We also recognize that colonialism is a current, ongoing process, and as scholars seeking truth and understanding, we need to be mindful of our present participation in this process.
