FLL’s qualifier advancement policy is based on Champion’s Award criteria. Champion’s Award criteria require that the team, performs well in all three judged areas (Project, Robot Design and Core Values) and receives a Robot Performance score in the top 40% of official Robot rounds among other requirements.
FLL does not rank teams except to identify Champion's Award winners. There is no combined score or weighting. The judges look at teams that perfom well in all project areas (subject to specific constraints about participation and sharing.)
All teams should expect to get judging rubrics with comments back after a tournament, identifying where they are strong, and where they are still developing.
