First, it's not 3 IE's and 3 RAS's - it's 2 of 1 and 1 of the other, and I forget which is which right now.
That leaves 9 teams that still go. They are based on the point totals earned during the season - the 2 districts weighted 1/3, and the MSC rated 2/3.
What this does is give deserving teams - for example, a team that was a Finalist in MSC - a chance to qualify for the Championship.
