For rookie teams, your tier is based on your rookie year. So your team would be a tier 1 team I believe, maybe tier 2. I know there is information somewhere...

Here is all the information about national qualifying straight from the FIRST website:

Prequalifying Teams -

1. All prior Championship Chairman's Award winners (12)
2. Original and sustaining teams from 1992 (7)
3. 2004 Championship "FIRST Frenzy" winners (3)
4. 2004 Championship Engineering Inspiration Award winner (1)

Merit Based Qualifying Teams from the current season -

1. Regional Chairman's Award winners (1 per Regional)
2. Regional Engineering Inspiration Award winners (1 per Regional)
3. Regional Rookie All-Star Award winners (1 per Regional)
4. Regional Champions (number per regional event TBD based on the 2005 game)

Open Registration in the Fall:

A selected number of Championship slots will be available for open registration. The slots will be based on the number of years since a team last attended the Championship. All teams will be classified in a Tier, i.e. Tier 6 equals six years since attending a Championship; Tier 2 equals two years since attending. Teams never attending will have their tier based on their rookie year: 2004 rookies are tier 2, 2003 rookies are tier 3, etc. If the number of teams in a tier is greater than the number of available openings, FIRST will use a lottery system to determine team eligibility for remaining open slots. The final determination will be first come/first serve until all available openings are filled. A wait list will be maintained for any openings that become available during the season.


Based on that information, your team would be in tier 2.

Here is a list of what tier each team is in.

Edit - That list shows team 121 as a tier 1 team.
