Lower registration numbers just make it easier to not add an eighth event.
Late registering teams isn't a huge factor from what I understand as the lower limits were set before registration began.

Last night events were showing open slots and higher capacities. This morning the capacities had been lowered so that all CHS (and apparently other districts as well) showed 0 capacity. This includes events like CHS Blacksburg, which only has 29 teams registered and yesterday was showing 7 open slots, and ONT Victoria Park, which is currently sitting at only 22 teams registered (beneath the 24 required for a full elimination round bracket). It appears someone at FIRST wanted all Inter-District registrations to occur via the wait list process.
