Re: FRC Blog - District Slot Allocations at 2015 FIRST Championship

I crunched some quick numbers and counted 56* listed regional events. Let's say at each regional, the six qualifiers (3 champs, RAS, RCA, EI) are all unique teams. 56*6=336 teams qualifying through Regionals.
The total of the District teams (using capacity 600) is 169.
There are 30 pre-qualified teams.
336+169+30= 535 total teams qualifying by merit.
That leaves 65 waitlist spaces. Nearly eleven percent of the CMP teams will be there because of waitlist?** That seems odd to me, and very high compared to last year (I seem to recall single-digit waitlist slots).
Did I forget something?

*I may have miscounted, but the fudge factor wouldn't be substantial.
**possibly even higher if events can't fill wildcard slots
