Its got to be 3. They shouldn't ding you for not being able to afford the event.

Also, I looked up our last invitation. It was sent one whole week AFTER our last event. So we had very little time to plan too.

1987 actually did qualify at Hub City by winning EI. I assume that will open up another spot on the waitlist for a different team in the end.

For those that did apply to the wait list, you will need to have your plan together as they don't give much time to give them an answer.

This is very true. We received the invite on Thursday morning. We had to accept or decline within 24 hours of email receipt. We had to secure payment by the following Monday. If you hope to receive a spot, be ready to act immediately should your golden ticket arrive in your Inbox.

Just out of curiosity, why would anyone be declined?

I am guessing that the team was offered a slot but they declined, probably because they did not have the money to attend.

The last wait list change was made on 4/3. The list above is still current- a total of 18 teams are currently registered for the championship from the wait list.

Do we know how many spots are left to be handed out?

This "old school" version of the site has the tally at 321 teams so far.

Based on my (possibly inaccurate) count, at least 25 wait list spots still need to be handed out. As many as ~40 could be given out, especially if they go over the 600 team target like last year.

With 321 spots currently taken, and 6 regionals this weekend (36 spots) and 218 district spots allocated, that leaves 25 spots left to fill with the waitlist, assuming 600 teams.

This doesn't account for any spots taken by a district team at a regional.

Hmmm. Looks like we might be saving that $5000 for other projects.

Can you explain the "218 district spots allocated"? I am not familiar with how district events allocate championship spots.
