It depends on the district. In the Pacific Northwest district this year, grants from generous sponsors covered all of the district championship registration fees, so there was no additional cost to the teams themselves.

4290 has accepted their waitlist position. See you all at championships!

Qualifying teams from the 3 district championships and the 6 regionals this past weekend have been added to the registration list.

• Only 28 of the estimated 36 regional spots were taken
• There were 2 district teams that were already qualified (via regional, etc) of the 65 available district spots
• One wait list team declined (team 157)

According to my count, with up to 153 district spots still up for grabs, the current open capacity at the championship is 28 teams.

What is the likelihood that a team who has participated in last years championship becomes eligible through the waitlist?? Is it above 20%?

So far no IN team has made it off the waitlist. Hopefully that changes by this weekend.

Agreed. Sending 1-2 more teams would give some really deserving teams a shot at making the big show.

The likelihood is 1/number of lottery tickets. We don't know how many teams signed up for the lottery or the distribution of them back to the last time they attended the championship (or their rookie year or the latest year of refounding) so we cannot determine the denominator. If I had to guess, I would say there is less than a 20% chance.

And it would also change per team too.

The question was about a team that went to champs last year.


(We have 6/total # of tickets still hoping to get in!)

I'm sorry to disappoint you, but you have 6/tickets. You get 2016-2010(rookie year) tickets. Best of luck.

Whoops.

No disappointment though.

[Sperkowsky]

We have 7 and are still hoping :/ so the odds of a person with 1 getting it are definitely lower them 20%
