THE CENTRAL/NORTH FLORIDA ELEMENTARY VEX IQ STATE CHAMPIONSHIP

General Info

Teams that qualify for a Florida State Championship Event in Florida will be responsible for "properly selecting" either the South Florida or the Central/North Florida State Championship.

Two Florida State championships--where do we go

Note: ALL qualifying events between Feb 18th and Feb 23rd will qualify ONLY to the Central/North Florida State Championship

When you win a state championship spot from a qualifying competition you will have two weeks to register and pay for ONE of these (Yes--you only can play in one state championship)  -- your selection is FINAL you cannot change later under "any" circumstance for "any" reason. Failure to not register and pay within two weeks of the competition date where the state championship spot was earned forfeits your teams state spot--so be sure and plan ahead to register and pay on time and determine in advance the appropriate state championship you plan to attend.  

Teams are responsible to have teams registrated and fees paid two weeks following earning the state championship spot, unless of course your event you win a state spot is the the final two weeks before states, in which you must be prepared to pay immediately following that event

**The State qualifying Skills score cut off will be two weeks prior to the state championship --.  The number of teams coming qualifying from the skills list is based on open spots after all events the the state of Florida have finished.  While teams at events now fill double qualified spots from skills at the event, there will still be teams winning spots from multiple competitions, these additional spots come from the top skills scores to teams who had not yet won a spot for a state championship.  Teams that qualify from skills list will have a short time to registered and pay for the state championship, please plan accordingly. 

Teams that move on to the World Championship Event in Louisville, Kentucky will be responsible for registering for the World Championship event promptly as they will only have ONE week to register AND pay before their invitation to Worlds is lost! Plan accordingly with your teams from day one to win state spots, win a spot at states and play in worlds!!  Plan to win..
