Skills-only event minimum requirements

Recently in this thread https://vexforum.com/t/answered-of-teams-for-official-skills-only-event/27006/1 the minimum number of teams for a skills-only event this season was confirmed as 16 for scores to be entered into global skills rankings and thus potential VRC World Championship qualification.

Q: Is this threshold of 16 teams the number registered for a particular event or the number of teams required to attempt skills challenges?

I wanted an official response since I note a recent skills-only event with 16 registered teams and only 4 teams actually posting scores that were subsequently included in the global rankings.

Thanks!

Thank you for your question. The 16-team minimum requirement applies only to the number of teams registered for an event, not the minimum number of teams that participate that day in the skills challenges. Please let me know if you need any further clarification.

Sincerely,
Brad
