I think at least the Finalist Alliance Captains of events without Wild Card generators should be given first position in the Championship waitlist. This would throw a cookie out to finalists at early season events who may be equally as "worthy" as later season finalist wild cards, but who didn't have the good fortune of earning their finalist award at a wild card qualifying event.

If there are more finalist waitlist teams than available waitlist CMP spots, FIRST can hold a quick lottery to determine which ones to invite.

I agree that we should be doing anything we can to maximize the number of teams at the CMP who are competitive on the playing field. This is another way to accomplish that goal.
