Re: Doing some scouting, and confused...

Sort of.

All MI teams compete in 2 district competitions. At each district competition, the teams earn points towards the State Championship. The top X teams (usually around 65 or so) in points after all the districts are complete are invited to MSC. If a team doesn't want to go, the next team on the list gets a spot.

District CA winners also get an automatic bid.

After MSC, the 3 RCA winners, the 3 winners, and 3 other teams (I think it's 2 RAS and 1 EI) get slots at the Championship, along with the top 9 teams that are left (or appropriate subs for teams that don't want to go). MI gets 18 total slots, not counting preregistration.

There's a MI Rules Supplement somewhere on the FIRST in Michigan page. That may help you out a bit.
