Happy Birthday Glenn!
What a great day for a birthday, almost as good as tomorrow! :-)

On the off chance that you weren't kidding all round. I'm with Jenny in always being surprised that the open Championship slots don't fill up long before it opens to the teams who went last year. Registration for Championship was open for 20 days before the rest of us got our 30 second crack at the 20 slots left over for the teams that went last year. There aren't that many slots that 10% of FRC teams couldn't fill them, or desire to fill them.

Most years there have been open slots left on the table at the end of registration.
I only attribute the run on slots this year to a greater number of teams, static number of slots, and a registration system that is really a wish list, rather than a serious registration system.
