Yes me to, when they go to percentages in 2015, we (FiM) should get a few more...

If we look at the number of districts, and the number of spots feeding to championships..

(I assumed 40 teams per district)

FIM = 32/260 teams = 12.3%
PNW = 24/80 teams = 30%
NE = 24/180 teams = 13.3%
MAR = 38/120 teams = 15%

I have heard rumblings around Michigan of a need to add another district to support the number of rookie teams that joined this year. That will be 14 districts, about 280 teams, and a 11.4%

TORC is currently waitlisted for both our events we wanted to attend.

So yes, when you make it to MSC you are halfway there. You've eliminated the 200 teams you were capable of beating from the pool. Now all you need to do is finish the weekend better than average...

That is easier said than done.

One dose not simply walk into Championships through MSC. (but it is kind of exciting either way.)
