142, but many of those pre-registered teams actually dropped out.
So really, 113 teams that competed at Championship pre-registered, some were HOF, original/sustaining teams, previous year's champs, and many others later qualified through competition.
P.S.
A little more detail for those interested in this sort of thing:
- 31 of the 113 pre-registered teams ended up also qualifying through competition or as HOF, etc.
- 82 pre-registered teams (the rest of the 113) got to CMP without otherwise qualifying.
- 95 teams were pulled from the waitlist without otherwise qualifying.
So 177 non-qualifying teams went to Championships.
If we apply that to this season (and I haven't miscounted something)...
177 (slots)
- 9 for extra Einstein teams
- 48 = 8*6 for new Regionals
----------------------
120 teams may get in off the waitlist (give or take circumstances).
