What is an #IngressFS?
Ingress First Saturday (#IngressFS) events are officially recognized community organized and community run cross-faction Ingress events. While there are individual competitive elements, Ingress First Saturdays are not intended to be faction versus faction events. These events take place on the first Saturday of every month.
What is the purpose of an #IngressFS event?
The purpose of these events is to gather Agents from a local community in a social setting, have a shared Ingress experience, and provide an opportunity to on-board new players. An Ingress First Saturday is not an alternative for a Mission Day.
