Here's the relevant portion of the manual.

From my reading of it, the waitlist spot doesn't matter. If 4575 earns a spot at a Regional then MAR looses a point slot. This makes a little bit of (twisted) sense, as if worked otherwise then 4575's waitlist spot would essentially be transferred to another team.
