Late registration and the wait list

[Joe G.]

Due to uncertanty of team funding for this year and loss of FRIST email contacts, we were unable to/unwilling to register for this year, during first regional registration. However, now second regional registration has opened, and all tournaments that we could feasibly travel to are full. We secured our funding, but the best we can do as of now is get waitlisted at BAE and Boston.

Couple of questions:

-When waitlisted for a regional, what is the likelihood of getting in? Do we get "bumped forward" on it if we pay, or are in our situation, of not being registered for anything?
-is there any chance of us getting in without anyone dropping out, if we are paid?
-Is there any way to see the waitlist?
-If we have the option to attend, will we have to quickly confirm our place, or will we be put in automatically?

Thanks.
