The 2027 Championships are the culmination of the 2026 season, where first-place teams earned half-paid bids at qualifying tournaments. Using one cutoff from the first qualifier through the Championships keeps eligibility consistent, so every team competes under the same rules even though some athletes have birthdays in between.
