# Qualifications

The second day will be the beginning of the qualifaction matches. During these matches teams will participate in scheduled games to earn ranking points to move up in the rankings, as the top 8 teams will be allowed to be alliance captains for playoffs.

Ranking Points:

* There are 2 ranking points given for winning a match.
* There is 1 ranking point given to each team for a tie.
* There are 0 ranking points given for losing a match.
* There additional ranking points available based on the game, such as number of pieces scored.

This will often take 2 days, as the second day will have the last few qualification matches, and then alliance selection will occur.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.iowacityrobotics.org/competitions/regionals/qualifications.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
