Bonus Spots to Worlds

Now that our Signature Event season is nearing its end, a small number of spots have become available because some events did not hand out their full allotment (not meeting capacity requirements, event cancelled, etc.). Instead of transferring those spots to the Worlds waitlist, the REC Foundation has made the decision to take that very small number of spots and give them back to event regions. We recalculated the spot allocation formulas and as a result, a small number of event regions will get a last-minute increase.

The updated Qualifying Criteria has been posted to the REC Library.

Hi Ryan, given that there are 440 teams in waitlist, I am curious to understand how are waitlist prioritized depending upon the remaining open spots, is it based upon the world skills ranking?

Teams selected from the Worlds Waitlists are picked randomly. It is not based on any objective metric.

Is this the same for VexU? I know in the past VexU waitlist spots have been done by skills order, and VexU is different as not all spots are allocated in the qualifying criteria.
