Antonio covered it - but keep in mind that I haven't (nor has Antonio to my knowledge) been keeping track of tiebreakers, so tied teams may or may not be in the right order. The MAR site has the tiebreakers as they currently stand. We'll likely be updating the sheet as the event progresses this weekend, should have a very good idea of the cutoff after alliance selections, since ~70% of the points will have been allocated by then.

Bridgewater is also the largest event, and will only yield and average of ~24 pts/team (not sure if 136 is going to show up or not). Clifton gave away 29.16 pts/team - which is basically a 2nd year team bonus for everyone who attended.

Looking at point accumulations for the 8 teams attending Bridgewater as a 3rd event - I would expect 6 of them to be eating up elimination points. That means the cutoff at #55 is probably going to be a good bit lower than the current median of ~55 points. Did 5 minutes of lazy point modeling, came out with 49 points for the #55 team.

After that - it's all up to declines and where the CA winner from Bridgewater is sitting in the standings (433 is probably barely going to make the cut via points once we see a few declines).

If anybody has information about teams planning to skip MAR CMP, I can add that to the sheet so we have a good projection. As of now all I've seen is that 103 is planning on skipping.

2607 plans to skip MAR CMP this year as well, since we're attending St. Louis

Congratulations to team 225, TechFire, on their Greater DC Regional win!

[Akash Rastogi]

Great win for 225! Congratulations folks!

[AGPapa]

Congratulations to 2016 for winning the Engineering Inspiration award at Queen City.

Currently MAR has lost three point slots to
2607- Virginia Winner
225- DC Winner
2016- Queen City Engineering Inspiration

Teams who can still remove points slots are
11-Hawaii (This week, but a 6 hour delay)
555-Windsor-Essex (Week 6)
2234-Lone Star (Week 6)

So if 5 'MAR' spots are given out at regional events, and at the MAR District Championship Chairman's, Engineering Inspiration and Rookie All-Star Award winners take the first 3 spots, the winning alliance don't all get to go to St. Louis??

I would think MAR teams will be more motivated to go to regional events next year than the MAR Championship.

I also think it's a sign of the District model maturing in our region. Teams seem to be doing a better job preparing for and planning to attend the region championship as a part of their season. I also don't want to diminish the work MAR has done to make grants available to teams to attend too. They've really done an excellent job of making Districts work well for all teams.

So is 1712 on the list for this weekend?

As of 5:00, we had not yet received an invitation.

[scottandme]

We're down to 53 teams now - with 103 dropping off the list of registered teams. So it would seem that 1712 and 4373 are the two teams next in the queue. Pretty odd to have so many teams showing as registered and then dropping off the list.

[Lil' Lavery]

We just received our invitation email. Seeing as they listed us as registered before we could even respond, I think that lends some clues as to why teams were appearing on the registered list and then being removed. We are planning to attend, and our excited that 4373 will have an opportunity to as well!

[ThunderPorpoise]

4373 here. We have yet to receive our email but we're excited to have the opportunity to attend.

[ThunderPorpoise]

Quick update: we received our email and are registered to attend! Which I believe is the last spot filled if no one else drops. Good luck to everyone, see you there.

According to this list team 56 is the only qualified team not currently registered to Champs. Does anybody know if they plan on attending?

The next team in would be Team 869.

Edit* Just saw 357 is registered. Does anybody know how they got in?
