By winning a spot you have to pay FIRST by Tuesday (tomorrow) to come off the competition qualifiers waitlist.
You are being offered one of the reserved spots, but only have two days to accept and pay.
It's a different sort of waitlist and isn't the one that the rest of us have been on since registration closed in December.

Registration process:
1. New this year! If your team qualifies at a Competition Event to attend the CMP, you will automatically be moved to the CMP Waitlist the Monday following your competition.
2. On or before Tuesday @ 5 PM ET following your event, call FIRST Finance to make payment arrangements 1-800-871-8326 ext. 450 or ext. 415. Payment arrangements can be made by Check, Credit Card, Purchase Order from school or Commitment Letter from Corporate sponsor. One of these forms must be received by the Tuesday following the qualifying Regional by 5pm ET. Commitment Letters and Purchase Orders must be paid to FIRST by check or credit card prior to Friday, April 15, 2011.
3. IMPORTANT - If you do not register by the Tuesday deadline, your team will be removed from the Waitlist and ineligible to register for the CMP (i.e., your spot will not be held past the Tuesday deadline!).
