Only a few teams will need to jump you for you to not receive one of the initial bids. Unfortunately I wouldn't say that your chances are good. If you do receive an invite it will probably be later in the week as teams decline their invitations. Luckily for you MAR teams decline their spots fairly often!
In order to stop teams from jumping you you'll want to cheer on teams this weekend that are playing for the 3rd time. These teams can't earn points and will stop other teams from earning points that they could use to jump you. You'll also want to cheer on teams that already have more points than you, since they won't be able to pass you. Additionally, you'll want teams who have won a District Chairman's award to get a lot of points since they will jump you anyway.
The teams you want to do well this weekend so you can get a MAR Champs bid are:
103 (3rd event)
433 (3rd event)
869 (3rd event)
1228 (3rd event)
1403 (3rd event)
2180 (3rd event)
3974 (3rd event)
6203 (already has more points)
1923 (Chairman's)
It seems like your team made big improvements in performance from Hatboro (when I saw you) to Westtown. I hope you qualify to Lehigh so I can see those improvements! Good luck!
