Core Qualification Principles
🔷 Wildcard Eligibility: For the 2026 season, all Special Awards (including category-specific ones)
grant wildcard qualification eligibility.
🔷 The "90-Point Cut Line": To maintain high competition standards, teams must achieve a
judging score of ≥ 90 points to receive a Special Award and its associated wildcard.
🔷 Vacant Slots: If no team meets the 90-point benchmark, the award is declared "Vacant," and the qualification slot is transferred to the ranking redistribution pool.
🔷 Redistribution Logic: If a team earns multiple spots, they occupy the highest priority slot, and the vacant spot passes down to the next eligible team.
🔷 Quota Disclaimer: The number of available qualification slots (Quotas) varies by event; please check your specific event’s "Official Pre-event Announcement."
