Someone please correct me if I have misunderstood any of the above.

The way the systemfor Michigan works as I've been made to understand it is that only the 10 spots that are determined by points are redistributable. As such, 67's spot will open up on the waitlist, not for 217. Likewise, 27 qualified through the Chairman's Award and had already qualified for the championship event through winning the Engineering Inspiration at the Chesapeake Bay Regional but their spot is also not available for distribution and will go to the waitlist. Likewise, if one of the Chairman's teams, the RAS winner, or the Engineering Inspiration winner are unable to attend (though my understanding is they are all able to), the spot would open on the waitlist not for 217.
