I have some slightly different #s:

I don't think it changes the top 32, but just changes some ordering within there. For instance, Drakxii has 1296 with 60 pts, and I couldn't figure out what we might be doing different from each other.
I removed EI/Chairmans from award points then averaged event scores otherwise (qual + alliance + elim + general awards), then added in the EI/CHairmans/RAS + Rookie/2nd year bonuses. I didn't not include any out of state EI/Chairmans/RAS either, as the only ones I'm aware of (Spectrum and Appreciate) don't affect anything other than order within the top 32.
The top 50ish I see are

As far as everything else in this thread goes - it is what it is for this year. There are advantages to FIRST being a UIL recognized program - and I believe that FiT has made their choice based on how to help the most students. Everything about it was kind of rushed (and happening at a weird time) - which implies to me that there is probably good reason why it's going down the way it did - whether it's due to a big gain or avoiding a big loss. It may be that FIRST would have been left in the dust as another robotics program became
the UIL program. That would mean that it could become even tougher for teams to get support from their district. Being UIL could mean travel money for teams whenever they qualify for the "next level". It can mean students can get letter jackets (which while it's something silly in my book might mean something to plenty of students that wouldn't really letter in anything else).
Yes, it stinks for a a number of teams. I'm not really sure yet if we'll be UIL so we might be one of those that would have to apply this year for TRR. Maybe it's time some San Antonio teams started forming an off season event so that there's another one within driving distance? And like others have said - this is a band aid fix to this year. I'll be curious to see how it is addressed in future years and it'll probably be a learning process. It's still not clear to me if when we move to districts will there be a district champs in Week 7 (that UIL teams would be recognized at?), world champs, and then "UIL State" champs in May? That could be a lot of competition in a short time for many people.
I think it's good to make sure that those that are impacted in a negative way to make sure their voices are heard. But I don't believe this is creating a "second class" type team - it's UIL piggy backing off of an existing program and allowing people that meet UIL requirements to go and compete in it. Once UIL isn't part of TRR - the only people who will care if they win UIL state champs will be people that can go tell their schools/district that are UIL members. Maybe I'm being overly optimistic - but I don't see this negatively affecting anything beyond this years TRR at a high level. It may very well cause issues with individual teams that are associated with districts that will want them to be UIL eligible though. But I stated above, I'm sure the numbers game points to more students being positively impacted (a district/school that shows better support or starts an FRC team because it's UIL) then negatively impacted (an existing team no longer allowing non-UIL students). With FIRST being a worldwide thing - it's not like any of the regionals/district competitions would have anything that impacts teams with non-UIL members. [/
