We've just gotten in touch with the waitlist teams to see who can attend on short notice, if anyone. Several teams near the top of the waitlist are local. Of course, if there is interest from multiple teams we will stick to the waitlist order.Unicolored Jay wrote:Georgia (Cancellation Requested) Does this mean they are replaced by DePaul (#1 on the standby list)?
