They are really banking on 22 slots being double dipped. 22 seems like a lot to hope they get taken twice.
Is 22 really to much to hope for? With 162 spots being given to regional champions and wild cards. I would be willing to bet that of those 162 more than 22 will also win a Chairman's Award, Engineering Inspiration, or Rookie All-Star. You also have to assume at least a few district teams will win spots at Regionals. You also have teams that earn a spot but can't go.

Great Job Frank, thanks for always explaining the reasoning behind the decisions.
