Re: 2015 Waitlist Spots

My description is a little inaccurate. Points don't tell the whole story, and I wasn't considering the "automatic qualifier" status of certain awards when I wrote this.

I was certain that those two wait list slots would simply go back to the pool and end up providing invitations to other teams.

I was wrong. Those two teams were taken separately, and the top ten without them were announced as having qualified by points.

If it weren't for the fact that the list of qualifying Indiana teams was read to the crowd by Frank Merrick himself, I would have considered it a mistake to have handled things that way.
