VEX Worlds Public Statement

And? I would easily have made it in off of skills if worlds weren’t to be canceled.

when has vex been safe

I already know worlds is gone…but I still think that there are ways to make worlds safe, and maybe not destroy everything people have worked for for years.

i will cry once for each of my qualifications

Sometimes, we gotta think about people other than ourselves. Like parents and grandparents. If you don’t want to kill them, you shouldn’t support spreading a disease that has a very high deathrate amongst the elderly.

The sheer number of countries and states that cannot attend worlds might itself be an issue

taran you were 800 in the world for skills…

Precautions and safety measures can greatly reduce this risk

As I’m sure @jack202020, @Cole386E, and @375X_Robotics would agree, Worlds being canceled would be a terrible thing. With that being said, it would be the best thing to do for the safety of the community.

EDIT: @375X_Robotics has informed me that he does in fact want worlds ‘banned’.

I understand this…but what about the flu? That kills many elderly, yet we continue with life

The flu had a known solution tho

I don’t mind worlds being cancalled. This game is not made for high level play as it is over in 40 seconds, too rng and the qna rules are very extreme.

720 Worlds spots, many many teams can’t go. You do the math.

It’s not an either or thing with flu and covid 19 lol, and medical workers do try really hard to suppress the flu each year, aka the flu shot

The math says 800 isn’t enough, because they’re also pulling from wait list, not just skills

This thread is starting to get out of hand. Please keep it civil.

What if we just have worlds without spectators like family and it’s just teams so that cases are minimized? Kinda like how some basketball games were going until it was cancelled

That’s a good idea
