Refer to the chart below to see the awards that will be given for each event and which awards correlate with a qualifying spot to VEX Worlds. These allocations are designated by the REC Foundation and are based on the percentage of registered teams in each Event Region over the last few seasons compared to total number of teams in the world in those same seasons.

Please refer to the Qualifying Criteria for VIQRC, VRC, and VEX U Events for complete details.

In order to keep traffic flowing in the parking lots, please take a look at the area map and park in designated areas. Busses can drop off at the EAST entrance.

Busses should NOT park in the main parking lots, but should instead park in one of the designated bus lots to the north or west of the building.

We look forward to seeing everyone soon! Good luck!
