What happens if.......

[Paul Copioli]

I have been debating this with other member of our team. Here is the situation: All the Nationals registration spots fill up because all the pre-qual teams and even numbered teams register for Nationals. After the first regional, a team who was not previously eligible for Nats, wins the Regional. What happens?

(1) An even numbered team gets bumped to the waiting list and the Regional Champion gets to register for Nats.

(2) The Regional Champion is put on the waiting list.

I think the answer is (1), but the language of the letter and the Q & A are not clear. So I put the question to the Forum - What do you think?
