Until the total number of spots is announced for the Championship Event, there is no way of knowing what odds a first pick will have in the lottery. Teams should be careful not to plan their accept/decline strategies based upon this speculation. Hopefully FIRST will release the capacity of the Championships in advance of the initial qualifying tournaments.
A good point. FLL has announced that there will be about 84 teams invited, down from about 100 in 2007. Not every State Tournament Champion will be invited to the World Festival.
