Re: FRC Blog - District Slot Allocations at 2015 FIRST Championship

Those 10 NE teams in my example would still qualify for the Championship but it goes against the number of slots allotted to our district.
But if a team were to win a spot in, say, Pittsburg and they were in the NE District system, the Pittsburg crowd would essentially lose a slot. Where does it go, to the waitlist?
