I haven't been able to find them all season either.

This is the old link to the 2013 MAR rules supplement: http://www.midatlanticrobotics.com/2...emental-rules/ but it doesn't work anymore.

Here's the link to 2013's Supplemental Rules: http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1407395/2013%20MAR%20Docs/2013%20SUPPLEMENTAL%20RULES%20FOR%20MID%20ATLANTIC %20ROBOTICS%20revised%203_28_2013.pdf

In it, it states:

The 8 award spots may not be filled by any team(s) other than the above 8 award winners even if one of the 8 award winning teams chooses to decline their spot.

The remaining 6 spots will go to the top ranked teams after points earned at the Region Championship are used to re-compute the Region rankings.

The 6 spots for the top ranked teams will be filled by starting at the top of the rankings and moving down as far as is necessary to fill the 6 spots with teams other than the 8 award winners.

So, assuming these rules were to remain the same for 2014, I too was surprised that 7 point slots were given out, after it says that The 8 award spots may not be filled by any team(s) other than the above 8 award winners and The remaining 6 spots will go to the top-ranked teams.
