That's not true, It's hard, but not mathematically impossible. In Michigan last year, team 314 was the last team that qualified for the championship with 133 points. There were 6 teams that had 133 or more points after 2 districts. It will be easier to do this in a larger district system (with more qualifying teams) then a smaller one. It did not happen in MAR last year.
