Here's the relevant portion of the manual.

However, if a District Team does earn a slot at the FIRST Championship while attending a Regional event, that slot does count against the total Championship allocation the District is receiving for the season."

From my reading of it, the waitlist spot doesn't matter. If 4575 earns a spot at a Regional then MAR looses a point slot. This makes a little bit of (twisted) sense, as if worked otherwise then 4575's waitlist spot would essentially be transferred to another team.
