You are correct that the original system was that a district sent they same number of teams as did the traditional regionals that the district replaced. However in that time FiM continued to grow and grow, so for the 2013 season they and Mar got a percentage of the available slots (less those dedicated for pre-qualified teams, I assume) based on the percentage of teams their district represents.

That is why FiM had sent 18 teams until the 2013 season when they sent 27 teams. Mar sent 12 teams their first year based on replacing 2 regionals but for the 2013 season they sent 14. I am expecting to see something similar happen this season so I don't expect that the districts will know exactly how many teams they will send until after the payment date.
