As far as I can tell, any team pre-qualified for the CMP prior to the competition season still 'black holes' their first CMP spot earned in that season. From their, the wildcard system comes into play at the regional level since the team has 'qualified at a previous event'.

You know, I asked Ed Petrillo about that, too, and I was told that a HoF team uses up a spot when they win at their district CMP, but not if they do not win there. I got the impression that their winning at a regional would not affect the number of district slots, but I may be wrong there.
