Emphasis mine.

Indiana gets 9 slots to World Champs, not counting Original and Sustaining Team 45. 3 of these 9 slots go to the DCMP Chairman's, Engineering Inspiration, and Rookie All-Star Award Winners, and 3 others go to the Winning Alliance of the DCMP (or 4, if there is a backup robot used). This would leave the remaining 3 slots for the next 3 highest ranked teams in the District. However, 1 of these slots has been taken by Team 868, who won the 2016 Queen City Regional, meaning that there are only 2 slots left for the highest ranked Indiana District teams (or just 1 if a backup robot is on the DCMP winning alliance). No matter what, Indiana will be sending only 10 teams to World Champs, including Team 45 (if I interpret that correctly).

Wow. Learn something new everyday. Isn't that a dumb way to do it though? I mean if 868 won a regional, I feel like they should receive one of the Regional's 6 spots rather than taking away one of IN DCMPS 9 spots since it wasn't earned at the IN DCMPS. Does anyone else agree with me?

So at Queens City Regional, there were 7 teams that qualified to worlds? 6 through the original 6 spots at the Regional and 1 through the IN DCMPS?

What would happen if 4 IN teams won a Regional this year? That'd be an odd situation...
