Invitational Competition

We understand that many teams and contest organizers have been forced to cancel or postpone contests and may not have had the chance to qualify this year, therefore we will be expanding our invitational qualifier for this year. In addition to the teams who have qualified for the 2020 Invitational to this point, we will extend and invite to the teams who qualified in the 2019 period (July 2018 – June 2019) to join and compete again in the 2020 Invitational Contest. The extension is for the 2020 Invitational Contest only at this time.

Invitational Contest Process and Registration

  • Teams that qualified in the 2019 period (June 30, 2018 – July 1, 2019) do not need to verify their contest again.
