Cant remember.

Just curious.

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.

IIRC, you have to qualify during the season before you can generate a wildcard slot.

Essentially, if you win your first regional, THEN all other regionals attended will have a wildcard slot generated by 359. So after Northern Lights Regional you will carry a wildcard slot.

I started doing it last year, you just kept beating me to the punch . I'll probably do it again and see what happens.

I'll start a new thread.

No if you qualify at your first Regional you only generate a wild card slot if you win at your subsequent events. Winning Chairman's, Engineering Inspiration or Rookie All Star will not generate a wild card slot.

Note this is based on the rules for generating a wild card last season, I haven't paid that much attention this year since I'm in the new PNW district which does not use wild cards.

Still applies, the rules have not changed.
