Re: FRC Blog - District Slot Allocations at 2015 FIRST Championship
Please don't post items as truth on this forum if you do not know them to be so.
868 was DEFINITELY not waitlisted in to the CMP. They earned the right to compete as wildcards at QCR. They performed admirably at the World Championships, ranking second in their division and earning the Excellence in Engineering Award. They were also crowned champions at the Indiana State Championship.
Also, the notion of Indiana exclusivity doesn't hold water. Sure, teams from other areas may have "poached" qualifying spots in Indiana events, but there's nothing that kept Indiana from doing the same at outside events. See: QCR, SMR, CIR, MWR and others.
Don't get me wrong - I'm ecstatic that we're making the switch to districts. We get >50% more plays, close to home, which is the biggest boost to #MakeItLoud that we'll have ever seen to this point. It's also much better on the team pocketbook. But we don't stand to gain any more traction into CMP than years before, and to claim so is silly.
