Was like I wonder how many people are waiting till exactly at 1:00PM online for registration to open..... guess alot!! Getting one of the 15 spots for 2 teams must have been incredibly difficult then.

The 15 schools/30 spots for confirmed 2 teams filled up in 2 minutes.

We were pleased that this new policy enabled a greater number of less-nationally-prominent local teams to claim spots in the tournament alongside the top national teams. As we've made clear all along, we're keen to make sure the MIT invitational serves elite teams and smaller up-and-coming teams alike, and we're happy that we found a fair policy that supports this goal in the face of astoundingly high demand for spots.

Some teams had funny spelling errors in things like the name of their school, so we figured that they were typing and clicking through really fast
