Xavier VEXFest is a Blended High Scholl and Middle School Event event. 

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].
