Team Swapping Policy in Event Registrations

The following policy is intended to ensure fair and equitable access to events for teams on event waitlists.

  • 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.
  • Robotics Education & Competition Foundation (RECF) 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.
  • Team swapping for Signature Events is not allowed within 4 weeks of an event.
  • Team swapping is not allowed within 2 weeks of standard events.
