Back in October, we shared an update on advancement to the FIRST® Championship from teams attending Regional Events. Today, we’re sharing an update on advancement to the FIRST Championship from teams who compete in the District model.

Each district is allocated a number of slots proportional to their population of teams. Each District determines the number of Dean’s List Award Finalists, FIRST Impact, Rookie All Star, and Engineering Inspiration Awards to present at their Championship, within a range established by FIRST. For the awards, ranges are developed by using ratios agreed upon by FIRST and District Leadership. These ranges allow each District to represent their own community as they see fit. The number of Woodie Flowers Finalist Awards is determined by the Woodie Flowers Award committee. The specific number of each award at each District Championship is also posted on the Championship Eligibility page. District representation at the 2024 FIRST Championship will be:
