24 teams were at Pittsburgh. It was decided that the tournament needed to have standby robots in case any of the alliance bots broke during playoffs.
7 alliances were chosen using the normal playoff structure, but the 1st alliance received a bye in the Quarterfinal Round. Hence 21 teams were picked during alliance selections.
One team was not able to take the field for their Quarterfinal match, so the first standby was inserted in their place. There were only 2 teams that did not make the playoffs.
