My common sense would think that winning one district even would be enough to get us into a Regional in Boston but I was curious to know how the points work..

Typically, it is. It will, obviously, depend on the total number of points in the system as a whole. (> 2 events teams actually pull points out of the system and push the min qualification points down)

In general you're safe to get into the NE FIRST Championship but you can't be 100% certain until all the points are done.
