If I was born on December 5, 2005 (less than 19 years old before the World Championships) but I have received my high school diploma in August 2024, can I compete as a high school student in the high stakes season?

Here’s the definition of “student” in the game manual:
Student – A person is considered a Student if they meet both of the following criteria:
- Anyone who is earning or has earned credit toward a secondary school (i.e., high school) diploma, certificate, or other equivalent during the six (6) months preceding the VEX Robotics World Championship. Courses earning credits leading up to high school would satisfy this requirement.
- Anyone born after May 1, 2005 (i.e., who will be 19 or younger at VEX Worlds 2025). Eligibility may also be granted based on a disability that has delayed education by at least one year.
It sounds like you meet #2, but not #1, so are not eligible to compete in V5RC High Stakes.
If you’re enrolled in post-secondary education (college/university) you may be eligible to participate in VURC.
