As for 1448, they are an even team and this year is an even year. If you weren't aware, everyother year is even-odd and teams have the ability to sign up with no prequalifications if they know about it. We had no idea about it in our rookie year but we know now.
That rule went away this year - even / odd doesn't matter anymore. It's been replaced by the tiered system. Championship registration had already been opened up to all of Tier 3-6, then all of Tier 2, then part of Tier 1. (See the FIRST e-mail blast forum on CD for previous announcements of registration). This last round was just opening up more at-large spots to the rest of Tier 1 and I assume the rookie tier as well.

We're in. Woohoo!
