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...
