Re: Bad News for teams on Waiting List
The number of Championship slots open to teams on the waiting list won't be known until the Tuesday after the Week 5 regionals, which is the deadline for qualifying award winners to commit to paying for Championships. After that, FIRST can see how many spots are open since none need to be reserved for teams who qualify at regionals.
There are currently 291 teams on the official list for nationals, and a potential 3-7 qualifying teams per regional this coming week. There are 10 regionals remaining, so 30-70 additional teams could qualify for nationals. Last year there were 344 teams at nationals, so everything is down to how these regionals go this week, who wins them and their qualification awards, and who decides to go.
