What would people think of using #MARChamps to interact with people at the event and the volunteers that are on twitter? I think it would be a neat idea, that way the people also watching at home on the webcast can interact with us at the event.
What does everyone think?

The official FIRST Hashtag for MAR Championships is
#FRCPA. It is used by the FMS system to report the score and by various aggregators used around the community. The point of hashtags is to organize conversations about the same subject (and track trending) so it is important unite around a single one. The PA regional code is a legacy that doesn't make much sense in its new role, similar to the GL code for FiM Championship. No slight is meant to my friends in NJ and DE, the code is just there for continuity.

Does anyone have an official answer if they are going to or not? The MAR rules do not seem to have a definite answer, and only states:
It says nothing about teams that qualify for St. Louis through means outside of MAR.
(Just for reference, 5 teams in the top 9 are already going to St. Louis, three of which are in the top 5)

Just a note: the FiM rules still prevent them from backfilling for already registered winners of the Region CA, EI and RAS awards. They can only backfill the Champion Alliance.
Also, I have heard nothing new to answer the Worlds qualified outside of MAR question, sorry.
