Teams Holding Multiple Spots For Championships

[Steven Donow]

By my math, (assuming 55 regionals and 6 spots given at each, 55 regionals was determined by counting regionals on TBA, I might have messed up), that gives 330 spots via regionals. Add in 32 FiM spots, 18 MAR, 24 PNW, and 24 NEFIRST spots, that gives 428. In the end, that means there will be probably less than 11 waitlist slots, as there are more spots given than available to account for declined slots.

Where do you get the 32 FiM spots, 18 MAR, 24 PNW, and 24 NEFIRST spots?

Congratulations to both teams!

3284, Camdenton 4-H LASER Team: 2014 St. Louis Winner, 2014 St. Louis Chairman's Winner (Chairman's Spots can't be handed down and don't count as a way to hand down a Wild Card Spot)

340 and 1511 both won Chairmans and EI this year, so that's two more.


Really, really wish we were on the wait list now.

If you read it, it says that it includes teams that are prequailifed. So, you're counting those teams twice.

We are, but didn't pay, because there hasn't been an option for it yet.

The point that I'm trying to make is that teams winning these multiple spots don't automatically generate waitlist spots-they just bring the number of 'winnable/won' spots closer to 400
