FYI I did this using the numbers on the official FIRST ranking page, because I noticed TBA wasn't calculating qualification points correctly.

What method are you using to get 53 for Michigan? I cannot see the point values being that low.

Also I could do the same for the other districts if there is interest.

If you go to the first page I explained how I was doing it, I'm basically just taking the percent of teams that have competed, multiplying that by the DCMP capacity, and then using the team at that ranking spot to determine the projected cutoff. It seems to work best when most of the teams have competed once, but very few have gone twice.
