Do they just notify the next highest ranked team and if so when? Forgive all of the questions, but we're only in our 2nd year and I couldn't find some of these answers in the Admin Manual. Thanks!

Right after the Montgomery event ends on Sunday the top 55 teams should know that they will qualify (well, not the 55 teams by points, since there are spots for teams that won a District Chairman's award). I'm not sure when the actual invites will go out, but those teams will know that they'll receive them.
If a team declines their bid then FIRST Mid-Atlantic will try to notify the next highest ranked team as soon as they can. Those teams could decline too, so it takes a while to go down the list.
I believe that a team last year received their invitation on Thursday morning after practice matches had already started.
