I was making the point they are cutting down the list so don't be surprised.

I'm not surprised. They know that the teams at the bottom of the list aren't going to make it, so why bother having them wait any longer, more emails will start rolling Wednesday for sure.

Since nobody has said it yet,

180 won both Orlando and South Florida Regionals.

This is not quite what the thread was talking about. When SPAM won Orlando, SPAM was invited to Championships. When SPAM won SoFlo, Team #348 was invited through the wildcard system. So SPAM only has one spot. The OP was talking about teams such as 16, who are invited for being a HOF team, and for winning Arkansas. A wildcard was not generated for them, so their second spot will be given to a team on the Waitlist.

I believe there is a wildcard thread going on though, and if this has not been posted there, then that should be taken care of.

We too have been "kicked" or removed the Championship waitlist

Is there any way to tell if this has happened?

Adding to the three already mentioned from Michigan, 348 earned a wildcard this weekend at South Florida.

Team 1629 GaCo won the Chesapeake Regional, as well as the Chairmans Award.

4 MAR teams have earned a spot outside the district: 11 (Hawaii CA), 225 (DC Winner), 2016 (Queen City EI), and 2607 (Virginia Winner). 11 and 225 will be competing at the MAR DCMP, while 2016 and 2607 will not.

Any idea what the updated number is?

[Bmarshall645]

With the conclusion of the NE First Boston Championships today 24 teams managed to qualify for Globals in St.Loius. We won the Rookie All Star award there which lets us compete with the robot.

MORT (11, Hawaii Chairman's) and Daisy (341, Hall of Fame) won MAR Champs.

After week 5 teams signed up, there were over 250 teams registered for champs (I don't remember the exact number, but I do remember we were on to 2 pages because we went over 250), which gives us an average of about 50 teams registering each week (ignoring pre-qualified teams that didn't earn a spot another way). If we hit that average again this week, we'll be over 300 teams registered. With 98 in districts, probably a few who have already qualified (thus taking two spots, regional and district), and some district teams not being able to make it, I'm going to guess that we'll only have a couple of spots open for waitlist teams at most - probably less than 5, almost certainly less than 10.

After week 6, there were 304 registered for the championship.

Edit*

I was initally under the assumption that we would have actually taken three slots (Hawaii Chairman's, MAR points slot, and MAR Winner), but the points slot was actually ignored and given to a different team.
