If we look at the number of districts, and the number of spots feeding to championships..
(I assumed 40 teams per district)
FIM = 32/260 teams = 12.3%
PNW = 24/80 teams = 30%
NE = 24/180 teams = 13.3%
MAR = 38/120 teams = 15%
I have heard rumblings around Michigan of a need to add another district to support the number of rookie teams that joined this year. That will be 14 districts, about 280 teams, and a 11.4%
TORC is currently waitlisted for both our events we wanted to attend.
So yes, when you make it to MSC you are halfway there. You've eliminated the 200 teams you were capable of beating from the pool. Now all you need to do is finish the weekend better than average...
That is easier said than done.
One dose not simply walk into Championships through MSC. (but it is kind of exciting either way.)

I noticed your team missing and am glad to hear that you're just hidden
It's almost looking like Michigan might need 15 district events! Counting TORC Michigan is at 280 teams at the moment, so one team more would necessitate 15 district events. Of course that depends on how final numbers shake out and if any teams drop after the payment deadline.
Regarding proportional representation, Michigan currently has 280 of the 2634 teams in FRC, or 10.6% of all teams. Proportional repression would net Michigan about 43 spots from a 400 team world championship, but I'm pleased with the increase to 32 and the promise that it'll go to proportional next year. There's only so much FRC can change/fix at once.
