Please read the manual. As was stated above, per the Manual, Sect. 7.5- For the 2006 Season, FIRST Vex Challenge teams will need to earn their way to the Championship Event.
Eligibility is earned by your performance on and off the field. The following award winners are eligible to
attend the Championship Event:
· FIRST Vex Challenge Winning Alliance Award Winners
· FIRST Vex Challenge Inspire Award Winner
Teams will still be responsible for their own entry fees, lodging, and travel costs to the Championship event. If
there are not enough eligible teams, as described above, to fill the event, FIRST will allow teams to participate
in a lottery for the remaining slots.

Since the Championship Tournaments (qualifiers) are still ongoing, we don't know how many teams who qualify are actually planning to attend. Therefore we do not know at this point how many additional spots will be open to teams who did not qualify. I am sure that FIRST will release an e-mail blast concerning the World Championships once they have information to give us.

You really need to sit down and read all of the information provided in the manual, website, emails, and online forums. Every question you have asked has been answered and addressed in this information. The cost is $1000 for registration, as well as hotels, travel costs, food, etc.

Unfortunately, this year there will be no way for a team that was not on a winning alliance or a winner of the Inspire Award to be able to go to nationals. First essentially overbook the FVC Championships and consequently will not be offering other teams a way to pay their way in.
