Re: Bad News for teams on Waiting List
When the different windows open up for tiered teams to register, your are added to the list based on when you sign up and when you send your payment. Teams that do not get in in time are put on a waiting list.
Once all of the held spots are known (spots held for regional winners, chairmans winners, engineering inspiration, rookie qualifiers, etc.) FIRST may open up for a few more teams, and does it from the waiting list. If you get called, you have a short time to respond and send payment or they move to the next team on the list, until the championship field is full.
They never know for sure exactly how many spots will be needed because some teams are multiple qualifiers (win 2 events, win 2 qualifying awards, already on the list, etc.) and some teams cannot attend even though they qualify.
