Re: Championship Waitlist
 

I counted 141 but missed 910 because they aren't listed as qualified on this list for some reason.

4335 has accepted

Re: Championship Waitlist
 

Team 433, The Firebirds has just been accepted off of the waitlist! We cannot wait to see everyone in Saint Louis!

Re: Championship Waitlist
 

It's good to see 145 on that list! They always build a decent machine with a ton of potential, and I'm glad they have the opportunity to go to champs!

I'm still pulling for 2791 to get one of the spots, though. Their robot is phenomenal.

Re: Championship Waitlist
 

Very happy to also see team 839 Rosie Robotics on the list as well!

Re: Championship Waitlist
 

Any idea with how many spots could be left (if any) this close to Championship? (Along with 24 teams being pulled a couple days ago.) I'm really not sure when they stop pulling people from waitlist... (I'm new to waitlist this year).

Re: Championship Waitlist
 

It's going to be a very busy Monday and Tuesday at headquarters. They need to add all of the teams that accepted their bids from the weekend, then evaluate the slots they have left, then they will probably offer the waitlist spots in "waves". They'll notify teams, add whoever accepted their bids and remove the people that turned it down, then keep going from there.

I don't know how many slots will be actually pulled off the waitlist proper at this point and will instead go down the ladder from district systems.

Re: Championship Waitlist
 

The Registration Lists currently sits at 583 I would assume it is safe to say that they added all district teams that officially qualified this weekend when a bunch were added this morning (this might be wrong).

It looks like there are 17 spots open excluding any declines from the teams added on Friday.

And there could be even more. Last year champs had a total 608 team going because they wanted to ensure that they had fulfilled the number they promised. We won't know if they go over again until they do.

At a minimum it would appear there are at least 17 spots left.

The hope is still alive. (Even for us!)

Re: Championship Waitlist
 

593 this morning, although acceptances must still be being finalized.

Re: Championship Waitlist
 

Team 1991 just received our invitation, and we plan on accepting. See you all there!

Ayyyy :D

Re: Championship Waitlist
 

Best news of the entire year! Wooooooooo

Re: Championship Waitlist
 

Thanks for the shoutout Kevin, unfortunately, we cannot afford to attend. We thought we had a bot that could compete this year, but financially can't make it happen. Hoping to be able to attend next year as it will be Team 145's 20th anniversary. See you in October at the Rumble!
