I think that this years game is a great change. It rewards alliance teamwork as well as individual team achievement. It really emphasizes alliance robot interaction and prevents one amazing robot on the field from running away with the game.

one spot left:

invited - 4954

next in line - 1712

[Link07]

4954 has accepted their spot.

And with that, all 55 slots to MAR Champs 2014 have been filled. Looks to be another awesome event!

[quad]

As was noted the field is set.

2/5 Rookie teams qualified
1/9 Sophomore teams qualified
4/9 Third year teams qualified
4/5 District EI winners qualified w/ their robots
2/4 District RAS winners qualified w/ their robots

38 of this year's top 55 by rank were also in last years top 55
34/50 teams in the 2013 MAR CMP are returning to the 2014 MAR CMP

Back down to 54 teams - 486 dropped off the list sometime today.

Still a much higher acceptance % than in previous years - maybe a result of increased MAR grants?

I also think it has to do with the additional week between the last district and MAR Champs. I remember last year the last spot being given pretty far down the line due to teams who rejected because they simply couldn't plan the trip in <1 week. And we still ended up one team short of being full.

Do you have the stats/data on rejections for 2012?

MAR 2012 here, green team number for teams @ MARCMP. Not as neatly organized, and I only filled data for some of the teams to determine WCMP bids.

I also think it's a sign of the District model maturing in our region. Teams seem to be doing a better job preparing for and planning to attend the region championship as a part of their season. I also don't want to diminish the work MAR has done to make grants available to teams to attend too. They've really done an excellent job of making Districts work well for all teams.

So is 1712 on the list for this weekend?

As of 5:00, we had not yet received an invitation.

[scottandme]

We're down to 53 teams now - with 103 dropping off the list of registered teams. So it would seem that 1712 and 4373 are the two teams next in the queue. Pretty odd to have so many teams showing as registered and then dropping off the list.

[Lil' Lavery]

We just received our invitation email. Seeing as they listed us as registered before we could even respond, I think that lends some clues as to why teams were appearing on the registered list and then being removed. We are planning to attend, and our excited that 4373 will have an opportunity to as well!

[ThunderPorpoise]

4373 here. We have yet to receive our email but we're excited to have the opportunity to attend.

[ThunderPorpoise]

Quick update: we received our email and are registered to attend! Which I believe is the last spot filled if no one else drops. Good luck to everyone, see you there.
