WOT needs to seperate it's workers, from players who work there!

GeneralDirection: jimmy_dice711, teams are accepted in the order in which they applied for the tournament. When you apply, it locks your roster and sets a modified date. That date is what is used to sort and accept teams.
Thus, unless there was a very rare bug that caused your team's last modified date to be set incorrectly, it was not one of the first 64 teams to apply.
If you would like this looked into, you'll need to open a support ticket.
