Team Swapping Information

Team swapping will be cutoff 2 weeks prior to the event []

  • During Standard Registration: if the event is full, only teams that have registered for two or fewer events are eligible to be swapped from that organization.

  • REC Foundation staff will have the ability to manually override this policy if a certain situation warrants an exception, but it would not be the expectation that teams would be allowed to swap if they are ineligible.  Therefore, these exceptions would be rare.

  • Team swapping is not allowed or possible for Event Region Championships and the VEX Robotics World Championship.

Early-Bird Registration Information

  • All Signature Events will have a specific Early Bird Registration that is independent of all local/regional Early Bird systems

    • Each team starts the season with three (3) opportunities to register during the Signature Event Early-Bird period

      • An opportunity is taken away each time the team registers for a Signature Event, whether during the Signature Event Early-Bird period or Standard period

      • A Signature Event Early-Bird opportunity is not taken away if a team registers for a tournament hosted by their school or organization (where the team’s coach is the Event Partner)

    • Early Bird Registration will open 16 weeks before the event at 12:00PM EST []

      • Note: Modifications to this may be made for events in August and September

    • Standard Registration will open 14 weeks before the event at 12:00PM EST []

    • An Event Partner may register their own teams to their Signature Event during Signature Event Early Bird Registration no matter how many other Signature Events they are already registered for  

      • The Event Partner must be the Primary Contact for the teams they are registering
