Say team A is above the points cutoff and team B is directly below it. If team A receives a waitlist spot, team B qualifies for Champs. While team A technically received a waitlist spot and team B earned a spot on district points, team B only earned their spot because team A received a waitlist spot. In this regard, I think it makes more sense to categorize team B as the waitlist team than team A because team B would not have earned a spot if it weren't for the waitlist.

While certainly team B would not have made it if team A had not made the space available be getting a wait list spot, in the official record Team A will be shown as attending due to a wait list spot and Team B earning their spot on district points.
