Re: [FRC Blog] Championship Waitlist, Crate Fittings, Travel Resources, & Canburglars

A couple more questions. A blog post came out in January (1/8/15) that announced the opening of the waitlist. So, did the waitlist close since then? Is it too late to even consider getting on the list for this year? I think we are really pushing it to even consider going this year, but several people on our team were asking, so I thought it wouldn't hurt to pose the question.

Thanks!
Brian

About getting on the wait list, contact FIRST and see if you can get on the wait list still.

You are considered a veteran team and just in case you didn't know how the wait list works, it's basically a lottery drawing and you get entries equal to 2015 minus the last year you went to Worlds or your rookie year. So if you've never been to Worlds, you would have 12 entries into the lottery (2015-2003=12).

Re: [FRC Blog] Championship Waitlist, Crate Fittings, Travel Resources, & Canburglars

What happens if a team is called up off of waitlist then they qualify at an event, do they open up a wildcard?

They way wildcards work this year I would say yes but I just wish it would have been stated in the blog

Re: [FRC Blog] Championship Waitlist, Crate Fittings, Travel Resources, & Canburglars

Our team is on the St Louis waitlist and we're wondering how long we should wait for an invitation.

With the final week of regionals this weekend and as teams are declining their invitations, slots are likely to open up.

The team is trying to decide between preparing for a trip to St Louis or planning for the year-end party!

There is definitely still a chance for your team to receive a spot for Worlds, I suppose they will continue giving spots out until all the divisions are full. Don't count it out yet, especially if your team has a lot of entries!

Waitlist teams do not generate a wildcard according to the admin manual 7.3.3.
