You're close. First, a team must qualify for the Championship this season, meaning they win an event or one of the qualifying awards. Then, they must be a winner of a subsequent event, which triggers the wildcard process, in which a Championship bid is extended to one finalist team. This will usually be the alliance captain, but will move to the first pick if the alliance captain has themselves already qualified for Championships, and can further move down to the other finalists for the same reason. Only one finalist team can get this bid, and if that team declines it, the wildcard slot goes unused. Hope that clears things up a little.
