This came up in a thread about the college challenge. The rules mention there are qualifications and then elimination rounds. Since we are not using qualifications in the college challenge to pick partners, is it meant that the qualification rounds will rank us all for when we start the elimination rounds, or is it that the top x number of teams go on to the eliminations from the qualifications? Finally, will the College Challenge system be using Strength-of-Schedule points in the qualification rounds?
Teams will be ranked based on their qualification matches in the same manner as outlined in the “Tournament” section of the VEX Clean Sweep Manual.
Yes… “Strength of Schedule Points” will come into play as the second method of ranking after “Win Points”. See the diagram on Page 10 of the Clean Sweep Manual.
