All FRC teams in MN are eligible for the State Championship and to win the trophies. The Championship is an invite-only event, based on performance during the season. Every team is ranked according to the points they earn in a modified district point structure, and the top 30 are invited. If any of them decline, we continue down the list to ensure a full field of 30 at the event. It's worked out pretty well for us... I believe there's only 1 team that's been at all 4 state championships since we started, which means participation is getting spread around a bit!
