Re: Special invitations to Championships from FIRST HQ?

The FIRST generic press-release type email was impeccably bad timing.

1923 had the same problem. We'd been waiting to hear from MAR if we got into the district championship.

Our lead mentor (love ya, Kathy) got the email, skimmed the title as she was driving (DON'T TEXT AND DRIVE, KIDS) and texted the mentors 'we r in'.

We weren't. (Yet.) Oops.

EDIT: Posted in the reddit thread, just to see what kind of email they're talking about. Special invites based on OPR doesn't make sense based on the fact that's just not how FIRST usually does things - bad timing and misinterpretation of the email makes a LOT more sense.
