Additionally, I expect Houston to welcome more teams off of the waitlist than North 1/2 CMP will.
That, coupled with a later weekend, means North 1/2 CMP will likely be more competitive and harder to get in to.

Yay....us non-district teams in the St. Louis Championship get hosed again....
Here's some interesting numbers...*
For the St. Louis Championship:
Total Number of District CMP Slots: 166
Total Number of Regional CMP Slots: 115
Total Allocated CMP Slots (District + Regional): 281
Total Number of Waitlist Spots: 119
For the Houston Championship:
Total Number of District CMP Slots: 52
Total Number of Regional CMP Slots: 150
Total Allocated CMP Slots (District + Regional): 202
Total Waitlist Spots: 198
* - Regional numbers were computed by lumping the host city of a regional. I know it's not exact since regionals hosted in states on the border of the CMP demarcation line will generally host teams from the other CMP region.
