Check-In
When you first arrive please find the registration desk and get your information packet, it will contain information you will need for the day, including a match list, and judging times.
QUALIFICATION SPOTS
Only 13 teams will qualify for the State Tournament at WPI.
12 of the 13- Will qualify based on their performance in the CHAMPION’S AWARD category. It is quite reasonable (and happened last year) that teams that win the robot performance part WILL NOT qualify.
The final 13th team- Judges can choose one additional team that they think stands out and deserves to go to the Championship, even if they haven’t scored high enough to qualify regularly. This may be a rookie team that shows much enthusiasm and excitement, a team that displays the core values, etc. The judges will make this decision and are not required to choose someone. If they don’t, it will simply mean a waitlist spot will open up.
Golden Tickets: 12
Bonus Tickets: 1
Waitlist Teams: 4
