Go to Post Yes, it is fun. Its fun to watch the students expand their thinking and look outside the "normal" and watch their thoughts explode! Its also fun to watch the mentor's minds fry trying to out think the students.;) - Robert Cawthon [more]

The MAR supplemental rules http://www.midatlanticrobotics.com/2...emental-rules/ make no mention of the EI award under the "Qualifying and Registering to Compete at the Region Championship" section. Although, this document is not the most reliable, as it refers to there being 50 spots for championship and 60 spots for championship in the same paragraph.
It's not nit-picky. It's getting things right or understanding why they are set up they way they are. There's not a problem in the world with it.

The MAR documents are ... confusing ... to me, to say the least. Chairman's gives an auto-bid, so it gets no MAR points. EI gets no points, either. Last year, EI winners got to compete IIRC. If they don't get to auto-bid, shouldn't they be getting points? Currently, I've got it set to auto-bid the team. That way, the worst-case that I see is that some teams will be invited that I listed as no-gos, which is a good thing (we all know it will happen, too).

After all, in some form, the EI teams will be there. They just may not be on the field.

As for the 50 vs 60, that'll get ironed out after next week's events (according to the document )
