From the FiM rules supplement:
Quote:
5.3 FIRST Championship in Atlanta
5.3.1 Qualifying for Spots
18 spots have been reserved for Michigan teams at the FIRST Championship in Atlanta. These spots will be awarded based on performance and awards earned at the Michigan State Championship. The 18 spots are broken down as follows:
• 3 spots for each of the teams making up the winning alliance at the State Championship
• 3 spots for the top three State Championship Chairman’s Award winners
• 2 spots for the top two State Championship Rookie All-Star Award winners
• 1 spot for the State Championship Engineering Inspiration Award winner
• The remaining spots will go to the top ranked teams after points earned at the State Championship are used to re-compute the state rankings.
If any of the teams listed above are already registered for the FIRST Championship in Atlanta, do not wish to attend, or do not register within the specified time, the next highest ranked team will be offered the spot as a replacement. This will assure that 18 additional Michigan teams will attend The FIRST Championship in Atlanta.
