If they continue to compete... and they win... they are now double qualified and take up two of the qualifiers....eliminating some non-HoF team from qualifiying for nationals by winning a Regional CA.

I am not sure how I feel about that... but I guess its no different than one of the Hof teams qualifying as a Regional Winner and that has happened many times.

interesting

Bob,

Unless FIRST misprinted their intentions, HOF teams can only win RCA, not CCA.

I'm curious why this wasn't one of the issues that Bill has posed to the HOF teams over the last 4-5 months. I don't really see a need for this rule to have changed.
