DTE has 40 teams just like the other 3 divisions

For some reason FiM team list for DTE lists Team #6117 Wingspan, based on their ranking they did not qualify for state.

Wingspan will be playing at MSC in the DTE division, for a total of 41 teams.

I’ll let someone from their team or from FiM explain here, that way we can have it explained well.

After talking to the wingspan mentors, it seems like it was an admin error. Online in FIMS it said that an extra team declined, and they had the option to sign up so they did. In reality it was a tech error and they intended on going. So that left FiM with 161 teams saying yes to states. 6117 hadn’t paid yet but were in contact with FiM and HQ, and after a night of an emotional roller coaster it was figured out that with 2 or 3 extra matches on DTE they could compete so they were allowed to finish their registration, pay, and go to states.

tldr: FIRST is great, but not perfect, and sometimes stuff happens.
