It mentions in the point system document under awards that the DCMP Chairmans', EI, and RAS winners auto-qualify to CMP. It doesn't mention if DCMP Winners also get an auto-qualify to CMP. Also doesn't mention how many Chairmans', EI, and RAS winners there are... I believe at MSC last year there were 3, 1, and 1 (respectively). Does anyone know more about if this element will be "regulated" or if regions are going to have to decide for themselves?

I have the same question... sending only one Chairman's or EI winner from each district really limits the representation of the district for those awards at championship.

MAR has 18 slots for 108 teams. That's 16.7%.
Texas has 111 teams and four regionals, for 24 slots. That's 21.6%.
Ontario has 113 teams and 5 regionals, for 30 slots. That's 26.5%!

Also not crazy about the fact that NE teams just lost 6 spots at CMP... this is based on a comparison to last year when we had 5 regionals in our area which have been replaced. From what is stated here, I agree that Michigan is not as fairly represented even based on percentages, but we are specifically losing spots that we had last year.

Concerned that the transition period to the district system is going to be more difficult to sell. It would be easier if it was possible to make it more consistent for all teams.

That's true... but those teams are also allowed to travel to any other regional as well and earn slots there, further increasing their percentage. However, this is not true for teams in the districts. If they were to go outside their district and win, they lose a spot for the district.
