Is it possible to get to state even after your last tournament?

VEX Robotics Competition Discussion VRC

My team has done well this year (better than last year) and I was wondering if it is possible to still get an invite to the State Tournament even after we have competed for our last tournament. Any feedback is appreciated.

Unfilled slots in lots of regions/states are filled by skills results. If you have a great skills score you may get in.

Depending on how many open spots there are for your state championship the highest-ranked people for skills in your region will get an invite until there are no more spots left.

There are three ways for teams to qualify to an Event Region Championship:

  • Qualifying Award

    • Winning a qualifying award at an official event in the team’s Event Region.

  • Robot Skills Ranking

    • If the Event Region Championship in an Event Region is not filled to capacity through qualifying awards, teams may qualify through the World Skills Standings sorted for the Event Region and by grade level. Teams invited through the World Skills Standings are invited in ranked order after the results of the last qualifying event in the Event Region have been posted. Scores earned after this date will not be used to qualify teams to their Championship.

  • Waitlist

    • If there is remaining capacity due to teams not accepting a formal invitation, the Event Region Championship capacity may be lowered or teams may be invited from the Waitlist. This will be decided by the REC Foundation Manager.

Hope this helps! The last two options apply in your case. Pasted from Qualifying Criteria for VIQRC, VRC, and VEX U Events – REC Library (roboticseducation.org).

This is a video I made a while ago. Near the end it talks about how to qualify after tournament are over.

Welcome @TigerBetaS!

So, as far as my experience goes, any unfilled slots are filled by skills, life @Foster said. One thing though, is that you shouldn’t get your hopes too high too quickly. Remember to never rely on this too much, and always to keep thinking about what you could do next time to get in.
