Re: Late registration and the wait list

We secured our funding, but the best we can do as of now is get waitlisted at BAE and Boston.

Couple of questions:

-When waitlisted for a regional, what is the likelihood of getting in? Do we get "bumped forward" on it if we pay, or are in our situation, of not being registered for anything?
-is there any chance of us getting in without anyone dropping out, if we are paid?
-Is there any way to see the waitlist?
-If we have the option to attend, will we have to quickly confirm our place, or will we be put in automatically?

Thanks.
1) Depends how many people are also waiting to get in. There are generally a number of hidden spots available for each regional. If there's 5 or less teams, you probably have a decent shot.

2) Yep, not all spots are shown

3) No.

4) Not sure. Contact FIRST and speak with the team support people. They can explain the entire process to you.
