Not in every case. We were invited to Palmetto 2016 on Feb 16 to attend on Feb 24

It's not always in the RPC's control when they can fill from the waitlist -- sometimes a team drops with 9 days until the event.

If you only give teams two weeks as a rule, it will be nearly impossible for some teams (such as those that operate within a strict school district) to mobilize. I know we weren't able to push a trip through in 8 days, but 14 would have been similar.
