Unfortunately (for you), Division II teams have an excellent track 
record of accepting their bids.  Last year

     http://www.naqt.com/ict/2002/2002-ict-invitations-dii.html

all but three accepted their invitations to the ICT.  I don't have 
the numbers for 2001, but I believe that there were only two teams 
that did not come.

NAQT appreciates your enthusiasm; you could consider attending on 
standby status

     http://www.naqt.com/ict/standby.html

as there are currently no teams on the Division II standby list.

At the very least, if you do not eventually receive an invitation, 
you will be able to play in Division II again next year with another 
year of experience under your belts.
