This confusion stems from the fact that the blog post does not reflect the system that would be eventually be implemented in the 2015 Administrative Manual. According to Section 7.5 of the Administrative Manual:

Teams will receive a number of “entries” to get selected from the Waitlist equal to 2015 minus the last year they attended Championship (or their rookie year, or when they most recently returned as an active team, whichever year is the most recent). As examples, a team that attended in 2014 will get one entry in the waitlist drawing, a team that last attended in 2013 will get two, and a team that has never attended but has been continuously active since 2005 will get ten.
