A team competing in a District qualifies for their District Championship by meeting 1 of the following criteria:
A. District FIRST Impact Award Winner,
B. District Ranking (based on total points earned at their first 2 home District events as detailed in section 11.1 District Events),
Teams do not earn points at third or subsequent District events, nor at any inter-district or Regional events at which they compete during the season.
If a team declines an invitation to the District Championship, the next highest uninvited team on the list is invited, and so on, until the event capacity is filled.
C. District Engineering Inspiration winner (qualifies to compete for the award only), and
D. District Rookie All Star winner (qualifies to compete for the award only).
The capacity of each District Championship is shown in Table 11‑5. Each District determines the number of teams that qualify for their District Championship. These limits are based on factors including but not limited to the total number of teams in the District, available venue capacity, etc.
