We're qualified, but...

We have enough points from last year to qualify. We're also an even numbered teams, so we would probably be able to go to nationals anyway.

BUT...

There is a chance that we won't even have a team this year. Thanks to the downturn in the economy, there is talk that we won't have funding for this year. Thankfully, due to good planning, we have enough money saved in our rainy day fund to attend one regional (as long as it's in Detroit and we don't have to pay for hotel rooms). So, even though we are qualified for nationals, we may not be able to go. Also, if our team can't get the additional funds, we're considering taking a break for a year. We'll see what happens in the near future.
