Since no one else wants to do the math...

The quantities and credit values represented in round 1 of FIRST Choice

• 2,038,160 Max round 1 credits (quantity available * credits per item)
• 3396 = number of teams those credits would be equivalent to (Max round 1 credits / 600 credits per team)
• 1,896,000 Max team credit (600 credits * 3170 teams)
• 948,000 credits were in play (50% of teams participated so 1,896,000 * 50% equal to less than half the available items)

So there must be left over items.
