CTY's awards page says that "About 25% of 7th and 8th graders and 33% of 2nd through 6th graders who test qualify to attend Awards Ceremonies." That does sound like their pool is similar to WATS then.

I didn't see the award cuts. What were they last year?
For WATS? I have no idea. They don't post their awards eligibility just the interpretive guide I linked above. If your child is in the top 25%, you get an invite, but you don't hear how far into that top 25 s/he was.

I'm going to drop this at this point in that I don't want to linger on it. It is what it is.
