2002 Event Roster Spreadsheet now in White Papers

[Joe Johnson]

I know that FIRST had said that they were going to allow 280 or so, but I am saying that they have under sold the competition.

At this point there is only 212 on the list according to the excellent P.J. Baker's spreadsheet.

The balance of teams are supposed to come from the teams that qualify based on the 3 criteria that I discussed above. In my opinion, the 250 number is a very safe number because there is a lot of overlap and double counting that I didn't even go into.

Unless FIRST opens the floodgates to allow more teams to register for the Championship event, I predict that we will have fewer than 250 in FL.

Anybody heard from FIRST what the plan is if they get fewer teams than they plan on?

If so, do tell.
