Pre-qualified or pre-registered? The entire original #2 alliance at Philly was already going to Champs. When 2607 came in to replace 365 in the Finals, that added some new blood to Champs (I'm glad they can go on short notice).
Also you might want restrict the years range to those using the current qualification criteria. If I remember it correctly qualification for "Nationals" started in '02 but it was much broader (you had to get a certain number of points, including points for all awards) and there were significantly less teams. I am glad that my team has qualified on current year criteria every year, never relying on previous year qualification (like HOF, & last year National Champ).
