Can someone refresh my memory, do wait list teams take MAR spots away from teams qualifying for St. Louis based on points following Lehigh?

The 2015 Mid-Atlantic Robotics District Championship, to be held April 9-11 at Stabler Arena in Bethlehem, PA, will welcome 55 MAR teams based on their performance in our 2015 District qualifying events. The roster will include the seven winners of the MAR District Chairman’s Award (DCA) as well as the 48 other teams that have earned the greatest number of ranking points as published on the MAR District Ranking page of the FRC District Ranking System Leaderboard.. As of Week 5, all but twenty-six MAR teams have completed two District events. Using the method described below, MAR has determined that teams ranked in positions 1 to 32 inclusive have clinched their eligibility for the championship event. The eligibility for remaining teams (other than previously notified DCA winners) is dependent on the outcome of the Week 6 North Brunswick event and cannot be determined at this time

The method used to determine which teams have clinched eligibility is an iterative process that tests whether the points earned by a team that has completed its season may be exceeded by teams that will earn points in the week 6 event. In descending order, each team’s present ranking is decremented by the number of teams who might earn higher point totals to create a worst-case final ranking. Teams whose worst-case final ranking remains within the 55-team eligibility limit (taking into account the automatic eligibility extended to DCA-winning teams) are determined to have clinched their eligibility. The result is an absolute determination, not a prediction.

Congratulations to these top teams!

They don't.

More teams added off of the waitlist today. From MAR, looks like 204 and 4575 are now registered for CMP.

Here's a question: If 4575 qualifies for World Championships at the Queen City Regional this weekend, would that take away a MAR points slot for STL? Or not since they have already gotten into STL via the waitlist?

However, if a District Team does earn a slot at the FIRST Championship while attending a Regional event, that slot does count against the total Championship allocation the District is receiving for the season."

From my reading of it, the waitlist spot doesn't matter. If 4575 earns a spot at a Regional then MAR looses a point slot. This makes a little bit of (twisted) sense, as if worked otherwise then 4575's waitlist spot would essentially be transferred to another team.

By my numbers, it looks like the cutoff for MAR Champs, before any declines, will be 57 points.

It doesn't look like 56 is registered for CMP. Where did you find that from?
