General Info

Welcome

Welcome to the Greater Western Wisconsin VEX IQ Challenge at Whitehall! Teams will be competing for a spot at the Wisconsin VEX IQ State Championship! Please see the Awards tab for information on which awards qualify teams for State Championship. 

The event will be held in the gym at the Whitehall High School.

No judged awards at the event.

Event Format

This is an invitational event. Please add your team(s) to the Wait List if you wish to attend. The Event Partner will invite eligible teams from the Wait List. 

State Qualifications

This event will qualify a certain number of teams for State Championship. However, due to the number of events that will likely operate under contingencies provided by the Season Restart Guide and the Game Manual, qualification spot assignments will not be made until later in the season, most likely in the first week fo January. State qualification spot assignments will be equitable and retroactive:

  • Events of the same size and type will receive the same number of qualification spots. 
  • Events that have been uploaded and finalized before the state spot assignments have been made will have the equitable number of spots assigned, and the qualifications will be issued retroactively. 

Questions on qualification spots may be addressed to the Bill Ryno [email protected]. 

 

Finals matches for Wisconsin VEX IQ events:

Event Partners are encouraged to allow all teams to participate in Finals matches. However, at large events or events that are running late, the Event Partner may choose to run finals matches that do not include all teams present.
