Re: Championships - Qualification Only Event?

Thats 336. Capacity at CMP is 344, 348, and 352 from 2009-2011.
In theory those numbers are correct, but in practice the number of teams that qualify is less than 336, and probably far less. There are a number of teams that qualify via more than one method (for example, we won Colorado last year and got Engineering Inspiration at the same event) which would obviously reduce the numbers.

I guess that each time that happens someone else from the wait list gets to go; is that correct?
