Thanks. My method didn't accommodate someone who won Chairmans and another award at the same event. Congratulations for being too good for my algorithm.

Here's a more comprehensive list, subject to the same caveats as previous.

33 68 75 78 399 503 558 624 836 1023 1108 1310 1318 1718 1817 1983 1986 2046 2175 2337 2403 2468 2471 2486 2502 2522 2590 2614 2903 2996 3238 3284 3313 3360 3467 3602 3667 3794 3824 3937 4060 4125 4488 4911 4914 4915 4956 4967 4988 5129 5188

4914 won RAS at their first event, then won the regional at their second, to they created a wildcard, and didn't take up 2 spots.

One of the things that is incorrect is the count from NECMP. We have 24 allocated slots PLUS 6 slots for our legacy/hall of fame teams for a total of 30 spots from New England.

These six teams may have been accounted for somewhere else in your math but I wanted to point out they may be missing.

False. If any of those teams get one of your 24 allocated spots, you effectively get one less spot for each HOF/Legacy team in those 24.

HOF/Legacy teams are counted separately to your district's allocated spots at CMP.

In that instance they will hold two spots, but they will not generate a wildcard for another team.

Team 20's wildcard was used when they also won the Fingerlakes Regional.

If at all. There may not be any waitlist spots at Championship this year due to increasing slots and acceptance rates.

Meaning, that the 4th team takes one of those two spots.

As per our district point model faq sheet, it says the 6 legacy teams are auto bids from HQ. It specifically says the 24 slots DO NOT include the additional 6. See below.

Finally, moving on to the FIRST Championship:

- 24 teams from New England will go on to the FIRST Championship. This count does not include our 6 Legacy and Hall of Fame teams (FRC 23, 126, 151, 175, 190, 236) who receive auto-bids through FIRST HQ.

- The 24 will allocate automatically as follows (and was discussed in part on Frank’s Blog):

4 Chairmans Award Winners

2 Engineering Inspiration Award Winners

2 Rookie All Star Award Winners

The *allocated* spots do not include the additional 6, as in "24 spots are up for grabs". However, if a legacy team takes one of those 24 spots by winning the event / CA, the spot is not passed down.

That's not the way I understood it and the way it was explained by NEFirst at our meetings before we went to the district model this year. This is all new for us so I guess we'll have to find out soon.

Correct me if I am wrong, but the specifics on the wildcard are a wildcard spot is only created when a team who wins a regional has previously qualified by winning a prior regional. I don't believe RAS, Chairmans, or EI pass on Wildcards should a team win one of these at a prior Regional and then win at another event.

This is incorrect - wildcards are generated after a team has earned a qualifying spot at another regional. They do not need to have won the previous regional, only the current regional.
