PNW would then send the following (24) teams to the World Championship:
-3 Winning Alliance Members
-3 Chairman’s Winners
-1 Engineering Inspiration
-1 Rookie All Star
-16 Teams based off of the District Point Ranking.

I love the fact that last year, our 156 teams made up slightly more than 6% of the 2509 world team count. This means that we would have filled 6% of the 400 Champ slots.

Being on the District Championship winning alliance does not earn you an automatic spot at World Championship. It is highly likely that you will earn a spot with the points that you earn from being on the winning alliance, but it could be possible that the 2nd pick doesn't make the cut. This is done to give those teams from the Valleys of Doom a better chance of moving on and tries to minimize the chances of that 16th pick getting a ride on the coat tails of the #1 seed.
