Being last to the party is becoming a habit.

The Devastators have applied for the 1st time! lets see if we make it. Good luck to all teams who do make it!

[Karthik]

Fun facts:
- 72 of the applied teams made the elimination rounds at Champs.
- 12/16 Einstein teams have applied, including all 4 World Champions, and 10/12 teams who played on Einstein.
- 11 Hall of Fame teams have applied.
- 21 World Championship winning teams have applied.

[Link07]

I spy 8 MAR teams on that list. Best of luck to all!

After going to IRI in 2012 and 2013 as a spectator, I'm going to miss it this year, sadly.

Stiff competition for the four rookies trying to break through:

2 regional wins (4901 won Orlando, 5188 won Crossroads)
1 district win (4967, Gull Lake)
1 regional RAS (5188, Crossroads)
1 district championship RAS (4967, Michigan)
2 district RAS (4954 at Clifton, 4967 at Gull Lake)
3 Championship qualifiers (4901, 4967, 5188)

Fingers crossed!

[RonnieS]

This line up is going to be insane! Wish we could of applied this yesr, looks like I will have to come and spectate this amazing event!

I know you have a varying history of number of teams invited, but what is the cap this year?

Crazy to think that close to half of the teams on this list won't be invited!

That's what usually happens.

Well, the number of applicants are a bit higher this year, so the naturally the number of declines will be higher as well.

I was expecting it would be closer to 200. I'm surprised it wasn't at least higher than 150. There's alot of quality out there.
