Charts show each team's rank after every qualification match — analagous to the lap charts used in motorsport timing & scoring.

How ranking is calculated

After each qualification match, all teams are ranked by their average ranking points (RP) per match played at that point in the event. Teams that have not yet played any matches are shown below all teams that have. This matches the FRC ranking methodology.

Tiebreaking within equal average RP is only correct for 2026. For other years, it uses only ranking points and total points.
