Looks like only those that win at a local regional will get fed ex docs to ship to CMP, will have to wait

I don't think that this means that only teams that win at local regionals get shipping for CMP. Other teams are also "officially registered" when they have paid for CMP. In all other years, any team registered for CMP was given free shipping both to CMP and home. I would expect that teams will receive their Fed Ex materials either at their last event or in the mail.
If FIRST had decided to not pay for shipping for all teams registered for CMP I am quite sure they would have mentioned that change during registration.
I believe the statement quoted above was to make sure that no one shipped to CMP who was not officially registered either through advance registration eligibility and payment OR for those teams that will "win their way in."
In other words, Don't ship your robot to CMP without being officially registered unless you are willing to pay for shipping back on your own too.
(Those teams would just ship their robot to CMP and back without uncrating it...)
