Events
Official FTC events are Qualifying or Championship Tournaments; unofficial events are Scrimmage Tournaments. At Championship Tournaments, teams are invited to the World Championship based on predetermined advancement criteria. Qualifying Tournaments exist in areas with a large number of teams. Winners of Qualifying Tournaments are invited to Championship Tournaments.
There are several ways for teams to qualify to compete in the FIRST Tech Challenge World Championship. Teams are automatically invited if they win the Inspire Award or are captain of the winning alliance at a Championship Tournament. Remaining slots are given in order to first pick for winning alliance, second pick for winning alliance, and Think Award winners, all at Championship Tournaments.
