If I may ask, what were the supposed division names that we were all curious about? :slight_smile:

114

It was gonna be HAMSTERS for sure…

118

And the hits just keep on coming.

119

How would you suggest that they do this logistically (hosting twice as many teams at worlds) and financially (since they are refunding the money that these teams paid for registration)?

DanMantz Maybe they can get their world pins and their medals they get for participating.

123

So sad worlds is such a great experience, this year we totally had a shot for some pretty major awards

124

Yes, this is sad and unfair, we have worked very hard this year, and it may be my last year as well, but there is no changing this, it’s no one’s fault and there is no way we could possible have the tournament this year.
Something else to consider is that having the teams that qualified this year compete next year is unfair to the teams next year that will earn their Worlds spot.

I know this is hard to process and accept, and I understand your frustration, my team has worked very hard this year as well, but we eventually have to accept the truth, I wish the best luck to you and your team.

125

Right when I thought I could put those 50 dollar flights to good use :frowning:

126

Lol,
No worlds = water game??? :wink:

127

I just had a minor thought pop up: What will happen to the Online Challenge winners and the teams that earned a birth into this year’s Worlds by Excellence/Tournament Champs/Skills during Turning Point? I know the Community Award’s prize was paid entrance into this year’s worlds, so will that fee apply to automatic qualification for next year?

128

So regarding awards, will they just not take place, and how will the team execute the introduction of the new season game.

129

No. One. Knows. Yet.

130

The tone of that paragraph seemed like they were talking about more than just that specific event.

131

Dang. That sucks. Feel bad for everyone who made worlds this year

133

as my last year in vex, and my first time qualifying for worlds, I am kinda speechless right now. Thanks vex for all the good memories, the fun tournaments the rivalries, and the laughs.

hate to leave like this

134

it was one hell of a ride

135

That would be disappointing, and I guess if the US Open kicks the can… who else is going to hold a big event that can host all those teams?

137

We could ship the bots there, someone will unpack and setup on the field, and you can control over the internet.

138

It is cancelled as per my mentor
