This depends on the model that is used. As it is possible/likely that FIRST will be standardizing the system across the districts, and its hard to tell what the final result will be. Using several points model simulators (ie the ones in
this thread), of the 5 NE winners, only one was even close to the cutoff of the 53/60 line in one model I've seen (and easily made it in several others). Yes if you add 4 more, there is a slight possibility that the robots will not be as high in points, but in general, I think the District points wont produce as wide a variation as the
CA performance at Worlds correlation.

...With 151 teams in NEFIRST, that's about 6.45% which is about 25 teams(realistically with the data probably a lower number). NEFIRST is replacing 5 district events, so that means 5 Chairman's, also adding on 1 RAS, 1 EI(this could change as MAR did 2 EI's this year), and 3 winning alliance teams means there should be about 10-15 "ranking qualifiers"*

Take a read through the
old NE Proposal. Because of the 5 events, the district was told they were given 30 qualifying slots. (I think I heard that MI is getting more because of their growth, but FIRST's original stance was you get a # of slots based on the number of regionals you had when you went to districts).
NE also has a large number of pre-qualified teams (CCA, Sustaining) including teams 23, 151, 175, 190 & 236. If these teams opt out of the DCMP like 341 did last year at the MAR DCMP (or FIRST omits them from the # of qualifying teams), then NE could potentially send 35 teams.
