Wait List

[Andrew Schuetze]

I will also add that fewer and fewer teams make it off the waitlist for the World Championships every year as the number of regional/district events increases. Depending upon how far down the wait list you are, you may not get a call from FIRST until week three or four at the earliest.

And the waitlist was registered for back in December, correct? Or not. I am sadly not very knowledgeable about these matters.

There is also the formula for calculating things.

Every team that wins a Chairman's, Engineering Inspiration, Robot Competition, or Rookie All-Star earns a berth at the CMP. There are I think about 344 berths.

What if a team went to two regionals, won a Chairman's, an Engineering Inspiration, and a robot competition.

Then they earned the berth three times, but only can occupy one. Therefore that makes two available for wait list teams. It gets a little messy and takes time to work out.

So the best you can do is get on the list and have money in hand.
