How is Eligibility for Nationals Determined?

I’ve been wondering about this for a while. This is my first year, so I’m still learning how FIRST operates. Is there a requirement of some sorts that teams must meet to compete in nationals?

I know that my team, 818, won the All-Star Rookie award three times last year (at both regionals and nationals). Do awards like that guarantee a trip to nationals?

Rookie All-Star is a “FIRST-Judged Award” and gives you two points towards nationals. If you got 3 of them, you should have 6 points and therefore should qualify. It’s a little late though… :wink:
