This years qualifying teams from the Connecticut Regional were 694 for RCA, 1511 for EI, 4055 for Rookie All Star, and the winning alliance of 195, 181, and 20. Of these 6 teams, 2 of them had already qualified for the Championship (181 with their Chesapeake Regional victory and 20 with original and sustaining status). With these 2 spots that are now open, FIRST should invite the next highest seeded teams to the Championship or the next highest OPR teams to Championship rather than resorting directly to the wait list.

In the case of 181, which regional should the teams be taken from to fill that spot? Chesapeake or Connecticut? If it is the second event the team qualified at, then isn't there a significant advantage to attending week 5 and 6 events?
EDIT: Nuttyman beat me to it. Darn.
