How to get to Atlanta (provided that you pay your registration and travel):

1: Open registration. This is organized by tier, and IIRC, there are 4 tiers, organized by how long since your last visit. Teams who went last year were the last to have their tier allowed to register this year. Then it's 2 years, 3 years, and 4+ years, IIRC. Rookies are excluded from this.

2: Qualify. That means that you must be a "legacy" team, a Hall of Fame team, last year's Championship winner, or win RCA, EI, a regional, or the RAS this year.

Theoretically, this does mean that you could go every year, as some teams have done. Practically, reality matches theory pretty well.

I don't believe the 4 Tiered approach was used this year. I believe there were only 2 tiers.... tier 1 (who could register earlier for CMP) was composed of all teams that did not attend CMP last year. Tier 2 was everyone else..

This allowed ANY team that had not attended last year to have the first crack at the early registrations...
