WorldPath Points
The Secret Sauce Behind Road to Worlds
Your team’s season deserves a bigger story. WorldPath Points connect participation and performance with future tournament seeding, helping teams compete in appropriate divisions across Road to Worlds. Build your season, challenge your team, and bring your game to the championship stage.
Performance That Carries Forward
What your team does on the field shapes how it is seeded at future tournaments.
Competitive Division Placement
Seeding helps place teams in divisions that match how they are developing.
A Connected Tournament Season
Every event has a place in a season that builds toward the championship stage.

Championship events
Where the season leads
Competition for your team
Four divisions
Championship Division
The highest competitive level. Priority placement for the leading applicable WorldPath Points totals.
Division 2
The upper competitive tier, and the primary promotion pool for the Championship Division.
Division 3
A development and parity tier, with a pathway into Division 2.
Division 4
The accessible entry tier for new and developing teams.
Divisions are offered when age-group registration depth supports multiple brackets. Not every event will offer all four.

Coach FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can a team enter without WorldPath Points?
Yes. Regionals, Nationals and Worlds are open to all teams — no qualification and no points are required to register. WorldPath Points help determine seeding and division placement; they are not an entry requirement. A team with no points yet can still be placed: the competition committee can use available performance history.
Which divisions will an event offer?
Up to four: the Championship Division and Divisions 2, 3 and 4. Divisions are offered when age-group registration depth supports multiple brackets, so not every event or age group will offer all four. The highest applicable WorldPath Points totals receive priority placement in the Championship Division. Each event page lists its published divisions.
When does the season begin?
The Road to Worlds season runs August 1 to July 31. Three dates matter in the first year: the platform is announced October 1, 2026; WorldPath Points are awarded for the first time at the iFlag National Championship in January 2027; and Road to Worlds officially begins August 1, 2027. The inaugural points window runs from January 2027 through July 31, 2028. Standard annual scoring begins August 1, 2028.
When does the August 1 age cutoff take effect?
August 1, 2027, when Road to Worlds officially begins. From that date the age cutoff moves from January 1 to August 1. A player’s exact age on the applicable cutoff sets their official age group — so a player who is 12 on August 1, 2027 is 12U for the 2027–28 season, subject to other eligibility requirements. Events before August 1, 2027 use the cutoff published for that event.
How does a coach register or request information?
Where registration is open, the event page has a Register button that goes straight to registration. Not ready to commit? Use Interested? on any event page — tell us your club, age groups and any question, and someone from iFlag Youth will be in touch. Submitting interest does not reserve an entry.
