Not a problem. Here's what the 18 WC qualification spots in MAR look like now:
  • 3 Slots claimed by teams at outside regions (2607, 225, 2016)
  • 3 MAR Region Winners
  • 2 MAR Region Chairman's Award Winners
  • 2 MAR Engineering Inspiration
  • 1 MAR Rookie Allstar
  • 7 District Point Qualifiers (was 10)

It is rather disappointing to see spots disappear at outside regionals. I agree with what Scott seems to be saying in that it does take away from the competition within our region by earning points and at the region championship. Hopefully this is addressed one way or another before next year.
