there was a first email blast letting every team know about a waitlist for championship. Your team contact got the email. If anything you should be getting mad at your team contact or your email provider not FIRST. The waitlist started at 12 noon EST last wednesday. Team 121 signed for the waitlist at 12:10 and subsequently is in championship now. Theres no politics involved here either. The FIRST community wants as many teams as possible to participate, even rookie teams. I'd like to personally add that I want more and more teams from other countries outside the US so regiopnals could take place all over the world! So tribotec_ca88, please dont get angry or upset. You still have a chance to qualify in your regional event.
