	==2026 reservations==		==2026 reservations==
			Reservations at NHRL will work differently in 2026.
	Information about 2026 reservations is coming soon.

			Reservations for 2026 will open on January 26 (this date is subject to change). Any competitor in good standing in a weight class may reserve for ONE event in that weight class, starting with our April event.

			You no longer need to apply for a reservation and give a reason. (This policy is subject to change if we get a lot of dropouts and/or forfeits from competitors who have made reservations.)

			You may reserve once in multiple weight classes, as long as you are in good standing for those weight classes. You may reserve in different weight classes at the same event or different events, if you wish, as long as you only reserve once per weight class.

			Each reservation is by Main Driver, just like registration.

			At 3lb, NHRL reserves the right to place any competitor in the XP tournament if we feel they would not be a good match for the Open tournament.

			For the time being, you may reserve a spot in the Open tournament at 12lb or 30lb regardless of experience. This policy is subject to change if we get a lot of dropouts and/or forfeits from inexperienced competitors who made reservations at 12lb or 30lb.

			You will make your reservation through the NHRL Registration Hub. Reservations will now require the regular $75 deposit at the time of reservation.

			Reservations cannot be moved. Please do not reserve a spot unless you are absolutely sure you can make it.

			Reservations for any given event will close, at latest, the Friday before that event's lottery opens. RESERVATIONS MAY CLOSE EARLY DUE TO HIGH DEMAND. We will make a best effort to give at least 24 hours warning via email if we need to close reservations for an event early; however, we cannot guarantee that much notice if demand is overwhelming.

Selections are generally announced 6 weeks before the event (it will be a shorter turnaround for the February and March events). Selection is by driver, not bot, although the bot registered is a factor.

	Selection is ~~no longer~~ a ~~weighted~~ lottery, as it ~~was in 2025~~. ~~Instead, we will select the most experienced competitors first.~~		Selection will be a lottery, with 2 buckets.

			The first bucket will be made up of:
	Selections are made in the following order.
			* All competitors in good standing who have been Main Driver of a bot that is currently-ranked.
			* (3lb only) All competitors in good standing who have earned at least 10,000 XP.

	* ~~All~~ ~~drivers~~ ~~who~~ ~~have~~ ~~competed~~ ~~with~~ ~~a currently-ranked bot, bringing a currently-ranked bot, who are in good standing,~~ and ~~who are able~~ to compete at 2026 World Championships, ~~ordered~~ by ~~rank~~ ~~(starting~~ ~~with the~~ ~~best~~ ~~rank)~~.		Anyone in the first bucket must be able and willing to compete at the 2026 World Championships with their entered bot, barring an unexpected emergency or life event.
	* All drivers who have competed with a currently-ranked bot, bringing an currently-unranked bot, who are in good standing, and who are able to compete at 2026 World Championships, selected randomly.
	* Any drivers who have completed the XP requirement at the NHRL XP tournament (3lb only), are in good standing, and who are able to compete at 2026 World Championships, selected randomly.

			The second bucket will be everyone else.
	“Able to compete at 2026 World Championships” means able and willing to compete at the 2026 World Championships with their entered bot, barring an unexpected emergency or life event.

			If there is a waitlist, then any unselected competitors from the first bucket will be at the top in random order, followed by unselected competitors from the second bucket.
	If there is still room in 3lb, we may allow randomly-selected drivers who are close to reaching 10,000 XP. If there is still room in 12lb and/or 30lb, we may allow randomly-selected inexperienced drivers.

	We may also allow drivers who won’t be able or willing to compete at the 2026 World Championships, and/or not in good standing if there is still room after that.

			The XP tournament will use the same format as the Open tournament, with a 3-round prelim feeding a single-elimination bracket. Additionally, competitors that go 0-2 in the Open prelims may sign up to compete in the XP single-elimination bracket, if they want more stick time.
