A great resource for questions about the district system is this paper by Jim Zondag.
I short, team compete at two events with a maximum of 40 teams per event for the same cost as one regional. Teams then accumulate points towards qualifying for the district championship based on performance and awards ( point system). At the district championship, the point values are tripled, and the top teams then earn places at the world championship.
Teams may compete at more than two events, but only receive points at their first two. I believe extra events cost $500 in Michigan.
