If teams had signed up early, or decided they could not go for whatever reason... they just kept going down the list to fill the 16 (18) teams through the use of the the regional points system.
Everywhere else... if the team was already going ( our team for instance) and they qualified (which we did..) that spot just went back into the larger FIRST pool of teams .. so teams on the wait list could go...... the regional could not pick another team to go to CMP based on their own system of who deserved it. Only teams that were regional winners/CA winners/EI winners/Rookie All Stars could go...So if you had any double winners or teams that could not go the CMP for some other reason (usually money) ... that just meant your regional lost the opportunity to send the full number of qualifiers...

I am not saying this is a bad thing... just that this system needs to be applied equally for all regionals.states...
that's all
