Re: Teams already assigned divisions
Wednesday evening FIRST sent out an email to the main contacts of the top 60 teams on the Championship Event wait list. All these teams were extended an offer to compete in Atlanta. Any team who registered via this route was assigned a division. Whether this assignment is firm or temporary has yet to be confirmed.
FIRST must have realized that there would be significant duplication between prequalified teams and teams who qualify during the current season. As a result they could have ended up with the situation where The Championship would be under capacity. By extending the early invitation, it allows teams plenty of time to arrange their finances and travel plans, to ensure their participation.
