Hopefully they'll still qualify for MAR champs because they have good robots that deserve to be there. I'm not sure if the old points model would have done a better job; once BR ends I'll recalculate the rankings with last year's point systems to see the difference in who qualifies.

Unfortunately for 708... We don't have a choice not to compete week 1 at Hatboro-Horsham as the event host. Fingers crossed for us and our friends who are on the edge of the bubble!

2495 | 2729 | 1712

We're up to 50 teams registered for MARCMP. No teams have been pulled from the "waitlist" yet. All 3 HoF teams (103, 341, 365) are registered, as well as 3 of the 4 teams that qualified for World Champs via an outside Regional (11, 225, 2016).

Teams that have yet to register:
#17 - 2607 (qualified for worlds, stated that they don't plan on attending)
#23 - 4954
#35 - 303
#38 - 4361
#41 - 1495

Teams on the "waitlist"
#55 - 2495
#56 - 2729
#57 - 708
#58 - 1712

The point system did a pretty poor job this year if those 4 might not make it to DCMP. They all had the unfortunate fate of registering for 3 of the deeper events in Hatboro, Lenape, and SCH.

The point ranking system is interesting this year to say the least. I wonder what last year's results would look like with this year's match outcomes? Neither ranking system accounts for strength of schedule but I'm just wondering if the nature of this year's game has a lot to do with it in how some of the role player type robots have found a niche and a part of this year's game.

Registration just shuffled around a minute ago, with 2016 and 3340 dropping off the list of registered teams. We have 49 officially, with 3 teams saying they got invites who aren't on the list yet (2495, 2729, 708). So that makes 52.

Teams about the cut still missing:
4954 (#23)
303 (#35)
4361 (#38)

So if all those teams register, we're all full. If any of those decline, the order is:

1712 (#58)
4373 (#60)
4653 (#61)

Everyone below #61 is out of the running unless any currently registered teams drop out. Surprised to see 303 still missing, since they have been eligible to register since Clifton ended (week 3). Anybody have an idea about them?

The main question is would they still be allowed to submit for Chairmans at DCMP without registering robot wise?

If the MARCMP CA, EI are the 1st designated award teams, how are the two second teams decided?

If we have a 55 team MAR championship like this year then teams 4460, 203 and 4653 would be in with the new system while teams 357, 1647 and 223 would not be. Due to teams declining their invitation to MAR champs 4460 and 203 were invited last year anyway. 203 did not attend the region championship.
