Just to make sure I understand, or not:
So, at the start of 2016, Team A is in Premier and Team B is in Challenger based on 2015 event results. For the 2016 Championships, Team B ends up in Premier, based on their 2016 results, and Team A ends up where based off of which year's results?

No, for 2016, Team B would go to the Challenger Championships. And based on their end of the year points total, they would either go up or stay. Team A would, most likely, drop down to Challenger for next year after not making it to Premier Champs.

So, at the beginning of each year, each team is in either Challenger or Premier. And over the course of the year, they build up points. Then after all FIRST events are held, the top 50% in points from Challenger switch with the bottom 50% in points of Premier. Then you roll into next season and repeat the process.
