It applies to all teams who qualify in one way or another.

Buying your way in goes like this (correct me if I'm wrong):
Teams that last attended last year: bottom of the list
2 years ago: next
3 years
4 years
5 years
more than 5 years/never

Go bottom to top and that's how it's opened up to non-rookies. You still have to pay to go.

This year there were only 2 tiers - Did you go last year, or did you not.

guys we got on the wait list the previous two years but this
year we qualified 4 times (3 regionals and Engineering Inspiration)
That should make 3 holes for anyone who wants to go...
