If you want to REALLY get your undies in a bunch try comparing these official "FRC District Ranking System" lists which purport to show who is "qualified" or "D.I." (Declined Invitation) or "---" (Did Not Qualify / Not Yet Qualified) to that actual CMP List. There are dependencies at every level for every district.

It is this crazy quilt system that FIRST presents to the world and declines to explain.

When there are discrepancies that seem to point to errors or disparate treatment of teams between districts, FIRST doesn't respond to repeated inquiries by e-mail. And when questioned by phone hides behind an algorithm and explains by saying they don't have to explain.

Not FIRST's brightest hour.
