District Championship Projections

Obviously if several teams decline attendance that might come down.

I hope this is much closer to the real cutoff (we're at 69 points) and I really think it is. Not only are there 9 teams competing whose points won't count, as you said, but there is one team (236) who is already at 73 points, and another 4 teams who have won Chairman's awards. That's really 14 teams (11 in Hartford alone) whose points don't matter for those teams trying to reach the unknown threshold (assuming that threshold is under the 73 points team 236 already has.)

By the way, I thought there were going to be 60 invitations this year.
