Does anyone have any idea what's happening here? Is Champs going to be even bigger than we all expected?
I hadn't thought about that until now - there does seem to be a mathematical problem. The team list page from the FIRST Championship website (see link below) has the count at 536, but Karthik's right, it doesn't seem like that will work unless a significant number of teams somehow get qualifying spots at district championships that had already gotten on through the waitlist.
