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.

There were supposed to be ten Indiana teams qualifying from the District Championship (plus the pre-qualified TechnoKats). Two had already accepted a wait list invitation, but also were in the top ten by qualifying points. 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.
