  • Rules clarification for advancement

    The new advancement rules are very confusing. If my team goes to 1 state championship (no qualifier needed) are they only eligible to attend 2 more tournaments? What if they advance to a Regional from the third time we compete? They can go but not advance to worlds?

    BTW, for some reason, I am not able to create a post in the advancement subcategory where it says "Post questions here". There is no text box to type into.

      Hope this is helpful:

      Game Manual Part 1
      - Section 5.0 details the types (tiers) of competitions
      - Section 6.3 details
      ...eligible for advancement at any one of the first three tournaments they participate in at any of the following levels, regardless of the region.
      • League Tournament
      • Qualifying Tournament
      • Super Qualifying Tournament
      • Championship Tournament

      So the way I read it is:
      - if your team participates in 1 state championship (no qualifier needed) - You still are eligible to participate in and advance on to World from 2 more State Championships
      - What if they advance to a Regional from the third time we compete? They can go but not advance to worlds?
      - If it is the third Qualifying Tournament, your team is eligible to advance on to either a Super Qualifier or State Championship (depending on the State's competition model)
      - If it is the third Championship Tournament, your team is eligible to advance on to World
      If your team is participating in a fourth competition at any of the levels - then you are there for "the love of the game..." and not eligible to advance to the next level.

        I would consider/re-consider whether teams that have advanced to Detroit/Houston at one state/regional championship should be allowed to compete at any other events before Detroit/Houston.
        Once a team has qualified for Worlds, if they go to any other tournaments, they are denying another team any chance to advance. It can also skew the robot game significantly.

          If a team has already qualified for the next level, then if they would advance again, it just goes to the next team on the advancement list. So no, a team who already advanced doesn't deny any other team from advancing (unless of course they knock them out in the finals or something)
