The Invitation List is posted in another thread.

I won't go into much detail about the "process", except to say we look at Regional / District performance, through-season improvement, CHP performance, draft order, event rankings, other data and uniqueness.

The only guaranteed spots each year are the previous year winning alliance and the SIlent Auction spots. The Host Teams are evaluated against the same criteria as all others and are not guaranteed a spot.
