Re: [FTC]: FTC Super-Regionals

Yes, each Super Regional will have 72 teams. 20-25 will advance from each Super Regional to the World Championships. I don't know if the same number will advance from each of the four Super Regionals or if it will be apportioned based on the number of teams in each Super Region.

International Affiliate Partner Championship tournaments will make up the remainder of the 128 teams at the World Championships. I'd guess they'll account for about 40 slots this year, given past international growth.

The number of teams advancing from each Affiliate Partner to the Super Regional will be determined by each Super Regional planning committee. Each Affiliate Partner Championship tournament is guaranteed to send at least 2 teams. The balance will be apportioned by the committee.

The North Regional will apportion the balance based on number of teams in each state. So a state like Iowa could send 15 team. A state like West Virginia could only send 3 or 4. Average will be 6 to 8 teams depending how many active Affiliate Partners there are in your Super Region.

Still lots of details to work out.
