More than Likely, this all went down really late in the day.
if the teams above couldn't make a commitment then so it is.
the MAR 2013 supplemental rules state that
"if any of the eligible teams are unable to attend, choose not to attend, or do not respond by Tuesday at
noon, the next team in ranked or
der will be eligible to take their place. Eligibility will continue to move
down through the ranks until all
50
places at the Region Championship are filled. This makes it vital for
teams to notify us quickly if they do not plan to attend."
As it stands the teams above had more than 24hr past the deadline to make their decision and that is against what the MAR rules state We had less than 24 hrs before the championship starts to scramble to notify team members, arrange transportation, load vehicles and everything else that goes along with getting ready.
