its official!!!! Michigan Top 64 teams anounced! list up!

[Wayne TenBrink]

I would like to point out a situation that may be appropriate for an exception, waiver, or some such act of grace. I understand that FiM teams earn qualifying points at their first 2 events, and that any points from their third event don't count. 3rd event teams are not prohibited from from receiving awards. As of now (unless I misread the FiM rules supplement) there is no award for winning a district, other than getting a lot of qualifying points.

Team 216 was a 3rd event team at the West Michigan District. They were #2 seed at WMD and won the event, earning 65 "vanishing" points in the process. Since they earned only 40 qualifying points in their first 2 events, they did not make the initial cut for State.

It would be great if there were some way for them to get a slot. Perhaps FiM didn't consider this unlikely scenario and could grant special invite...
