Let's just recall a few things two:
Last year FIRST held spots specifically for rookies- despite the fact that at some regionals, these spots when unfilled, i would assume that FIRST would do that again- see as how it was already pointed out the the number allowed to register was less than the capacity of last year.
As well- remember that the waiting list does not reflect the number of teams that are being held out of a regional. It is a great likelihood that teams on waiting list for some regionals are already registered for at least one other.
And if there is truly this much demand for competitions, then FIRST should make more- BUT teams have to do their part and not register for 3 or 4 and only cut the check for one.. cause that could leave FIRST lacking enough teams after the fact to constitute holding more regionals..
just some thoughts
