Next season we are hoping to go to champs through wait listing. We are unsure of our chances of getting in we believe it will be very slim this year. We cannot afford to attend 2 regionals this year on top of champs.
The problem with us going on the wait list is there is a risk involved that we might not get in and we lose the opportunity to go to a second regional. If we decide to go to a second regional instead of champs, then we wont be able to go to champs resulting in some unhappy students. A majority of students on our team are looking forward to attending champs.
So I was wondering if anyone knew how many teams on the wait list got accepted last year? It would be very helpful in our decision.
Anyone in the same predicament as us?  |
That would be a cool number to have!
It is hard to say. This year there is the introduction of the Wild Card system along with new regionals so the number of waitlisted teams getting into CMP is unknown and will be less than previous years.
I wouldn't hinge your entire season on the waitlist. In my opinion I would be more disappointed if my team only attended one regional instead of two because we didn't make the small window for waitlisted team.
