Re: Understanding FiM State Qualification

That number will vary with the number of teams in MI, etc. It appears that FiM has identified some numbers (around 65 for teams with one event so far and 75 for teams with two events) that they consider to be a safe bet for qualifying, and they are just letting these teams know so they can plan ahead. Perhaps FiM has calculated numbers that are a mathematic lock. I don't know. I am sure that it isn't about winning awards or events. We are "green", but we tried to register with FIRST and they wouldn't let us yet.

Ok, that makes sense. Thanks for the explanation, and hopefully we'll see you guys at states!
