Finalists
Vex Build It
Vex Build It uses the same basics rules as in every vex competition, the new scoring objects are the torus, the brick and the ball (1.8" diameter) , you can score by locating balls in the center plate a single ball is worth 5 points, the objective of the game is to build as many floors as you can by locating a brick on another on the Alliance starting tiles, the first floor is worth 5 points and each brick is the double of the score of the brick that is under it (1st floor= 5 2nd=10 3rd=20...) and there are four yellow bonus bricks that is worth 5 more points than a normal brick , the...

Each match lasts 120 seconds, and begins with a 15 seconds autonomous period. At the end of the autonomous period, the team with the highest score is rewarded with 10 bonus points. At the end of the match, the Alliance with the more robots parked is rewarded with 10 bonus points.

Hoop Havoc
Hoop Havoc is a fast-paced game full of scoring, blocking, and descoring. Rods are worth the most points when scored in a tower, but they are quite easy to descore, which means teams will have to work together to defend their scored objects. Since the platform is 9" above the playing field, robots that choose to park will need to creatively design their robots to do so.

Pipeline Panic
Pipeline panic is played on a standard 12' x 12'. field, utilizing the small 1.5" balls as the primary scoring object. Teams must place these balls into one of two goals, a long tube which leads to a sidegoal, but has a hazardous descoring hatch, or a divided 30" high goal, which must be opened using one of two pressure plates. During the last 30 seconds, teams may make use of the match load multiplier balls, which multiply the score based on how many are in the goal. The team with the most points wins the game.

Basket Galore
Basket Galore is a game played with 40 1" balls and 4 flag rods. It is designed to be a "pure strategy and decision" game, giving players a variety of options to score points, but also a 5 ball or 1 rod limit to challenge the drivers, much like a chess game. i.e, an alliance may score both rods in the 24" high goal for 40 points, but another alliance may score all 20 of their balls in the 15" goal for 3 points each, giving 60 points to them.
