I am still unsure of the way teams can qualify for nationals. On the FIRST website it says, "Teams may qualify through performance during the prior year (2002) based on a point system. Five (5) points are required to qualify." I am on an even numbered team, and we earned two points last year. The way I understand it these points carry over to this year. However, if we were to say win two regionals and gain six points, do these count towards qualifying? The reason I am not sure of this is because it says performance during theprior year (2002) and not the current year (2003) Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
