I think as of right now 276 merit based slots have been "spent", meaning 46 competitions that provide 6 bids each have passed. There are currently 267 teams currently registered for CMP going into Week 6. When I looked last, I believe there are 30 teams that meet the prequalifying criteria and are listed.
This means 39 slots have already been bypassed, meaning teams that won them either pre-qualified, teams that won them did not accept them, a Wild Card slot would not have been created in the scenario (a team wins a tournament and an RCA/EI/RAS at the same event) or the Wild Card slot would go unused (4 qualified teams or more were in the finals of an event).
There are 12 traditional events and 2 regional/state championships remaining, with a total of 114 slots left between them all. If every one of them were to be filled, this means a maximum 381 slots will be filled before the wait list is called upon.
Now, I am operating under the assumption that FIRST is operating at a cap of 100 teams a division for a total of 400 teams, like last year. However, 2011 had 352 teams attend, and 2010 had 344 (though that is an Atlanta year).
What I'm saying is this: I can tell you how many slots have been bypassed, the number of teams currently registered, the number of slots still available, and the team cap FIRST operated under last year, but they could easily decide that 95 teams/division (or smaller, depending on how many slots are bypassed over the next two weeks) is just fine for them and the waitlist will be bypassed anyway. They have no official stance on a cap at CMP, though I imagine it should be 420 since that I believe that is how many pre-qualified and merit based slots are available in 2013.
I hope this helps... but it probably doesn't...
