This is only partially true. The rules have changed from previous years (at least for FiM) and I recommend those in Michigan and MAR read their supplemental rules.
FiM Rules and
MAR Rules. The relevant rules are on the last page of each document.
In Michigan, if a team is prequalified and gets CA, EI, or RAS at MSC, their spot does NOT go to anyone else. If a team is prequalified and is Regional Champion or requalifies by rank, their spot DOES go to the next ranked, unqualified team.
In MAR, if a team is prequalified and is Regional Champion or gets CA, EI, RAS at the MAR CMP, their spot does NOT go to anyone else. If a team is prequalified requalifies by rank, their spot DOES go to the next ranked, unqualified team.
