In addition, winning a district isn't necessarily a golden ticket, as there has been at least one team in past years that won a district and did not qualify (I do believe they won a third district rather than one of their first two, but in any case it's still mathematically possible to win one district and still not qualify if performance was rough enough at the other).
While you are in some points correct, if you win a district (such that they are the ones you selected beforehand and not any additional districts) then you are qualified for states.

Also with what magichau said, yea i agree basically. The ones who have 70+ and only one district played are usually the district winners as well. Or usually around there.

I still believe there are some mistakes but they are doing a pretty good job and i say hold on to week 6 before being positive your going to actually make it.
