In addition, winning a district isn't necessarily a golden ticket, as there has been at least one team in past years that won a district and did not qualify (I do believe they won a third district rather than one of their first two, but in any case it's still mathematically possible to win one district and still not qualify if performance was rough enough at the other).

The other thing to keep in mind was that 910 was the last pick for the winning alliance, so the points for that weren't actually as high as one would imagine they would be (it's 24 points, but they didn't have all that many wins at Kettering, so even with the winning position, they still only got 36 QP)
