Actually Team 116, our alliance partner, is taking the other one.

116 would have used the wild card spot, but 116 qualified for Championship based on the Engineering Inspiration Award they won immediately after the Wild Card announcement.

Hey, all,

A few questions about this list:

1. I checked the blue alliance website and the regional awards lists and saw that 4607 won an rookie all-star award (congrats!), how did they qualify a second time?

2. I saw that 1334 has an engineering inspiration award (congrats!), how did they qualify a second time?

Thanks for compiling this!

1288 and 1756 just earned wild card spots at the Crossroads Regional, courtesy of 234 and 868's win and 447's previous qualification.

2996 and 1410 just earned wild card spots at the Colorado Regional, courtesy of 701 and 2169's win.

4001 just earned a wild card spot at the Western Canadian Regional, courtesy of 1334's win.

4159 just earned a wild card spot at the Silicon Valley Regional, courtesy of 254 and 118's win. The other wild card spot went to waste, the first wasted spot of the season.

2403 just earned a wild card spot at the Las Vegas Regional, courtesy of 1717's win and 973 and 1868's previous qualifications.

1899 and 3145 just earned wild card spots at the Spokane Regional, courtesy of 2471 and 1983's win.

4001 just earned a wildcard at Western Canada, courtesy of 1334's wildcard/EI last week.

Wildcards at play in Vegas too!

IIRC, 2403 qualifies for Champs either way, very cool since they only recently registered for Vegas after some hard fundraising about a week ago! Very happy for their team.

[Gregor]

Silicon Vally just had an unused wildcard.

254 and 118 both created wildcards. 1868 won Chairman's at Sacramento, and 973 won LA, so one wildcard went to 4159, and the other got lost in the abyss.

[Chris Fultz]

All 6 finalist teams at Crossroads qualified.

Winners 868 and 234 had previously qualified.
That passed two slots to the finalist alliance.

Finalist 447 (Captain) had previously qualified.
1288 and 1756 got the slots.

very cool that all 6 teams playing qualified for CHP.

Yes that is verrrrry cool! Says Team 1288.

Is there someone willing to compile this information for 2014? I don't have the time to do it myself this season.

tl:dr, ....but do HOF teams create an auto wild card, if they should either win the tournament and/or EI?

Cant remember.

Just curious.

Also, what about previous year Einstein?

They didn't last year, so I would assume they don't this year.

HoF and other pre-qualifying teams generate wild card spots just like teams that haven't qualified; they must "qualify" once before creating any spots.

This year's rules are exactly the same as last year.
