2026 Tournament Rules

Invitations

The invitation list for the MSHSL Tournament is finalized once all of the regular season FRC competition events have completed.

Intermediate reports are posted each week as events are completed.  These reports indicate progress toward MSHSL Tournament invitations.  A Final Team Rankings Report, posted after all events are completed, indicates which teams are invited to the MSHSL Championship.

Intermediate Team Rankings Report – Week 2

Intermediate Team Rankings Report – Week 1

Reading the Team Rankings report

The “State Rank” column in the report shows the rank of each team for MSHSL Tournament qualification.  The green highlighted teams in the report would be (for intermediate rankings) or are (for final rankings) invited to the MSHSL Tournament. Teams with an asterisk next to the value in the Event 2 column have not completed a second event. They receive points using the Single-event team points calculation defined in the Game Manual.

The report is organized by MSHSL section. The two top ranked teams in the eight sections receive invitations to the tournament.  The remaining invitations go to uninvited teams based on their statewide rank.
