I agree with you that we'd probably all much prefer that FIRST immediately pull from the waitlist to fill open slots as they come available, not do it in bulk a couple of weeks before Atlanta.
7 teams that signed up for one of the open berths at Championships have already dropped out.
Our place on the waitlist in the long run probably won't matter to us.
Team and family money is tight, so we can't make travel reservations without a guaranteed spot in any case.
A last minute travel scramble a couple of weeks before the Championship is expensive at premium rates and puts a lot of stress on the folks behind the scenes that I'll avoid. I'd rather have the teachers/mentors/parents than the Championship trip.
