If we can, let's try to post any relevant discussions about the number and awarding of bids in this thread.
As we all know, NCA advertised 7 paid bids and 21 at large bids.
They have (apparently) awarded 8 paid bids and 24 at large bids.
Several people have already pointed out that a number of the at large bids appear to have been awarded to teams that already had at large bids or partial paid bids.
Now theres nothing wrong with receiving a new at large bid, but a team has to actually give up their prior at large before attempting to attain a new one.
Also, I don't have a problem with awarding more bids as long as there is a specific allowance for it. I'm not aware of that allowance so if that's what happened, I'm hoping someone will post the facts.
