Confirmed events show exactly the awards the event posted for World spots. For unconfirmed events, the standard qualifying priority is shown — Excellence Award, Tournament / Teamwork Champions, then Robot Skills Champion — as a general guide, not a guarantee. If a qualifying team is already qualified, the ticket typically rolls down to the next team in the Robot Skills ranking. See Qualification Criteria, and always refer to the Event Partner's announcement or official VEX guidance as the source of truth.
