US Youth Soccer Announces New League Structure

Got it, thanks. So as I understand it, only one team represents CalSouth in FWR, but there can be multiple CalSouth teams at the National Championships, correct?
Yes, there can be multiple teams. In 2015, my daughter's team went, along with Albion and Carlsbad Elite. Same 3 teams in the final 8 again in 2016. However, in 2017, it was just our team from CalSouth.
 
If the winner of CalSouth NC is a NL qualifier for this year's NC Finals or the CRL winner, then the loser of the CalSouth NC goes to FWR.

If the finalists in the CalSouth NC is a NL qualifier and CRL winner, then they have a tie breaker rules to determine which semi finalist will represent CalSouth in FWR.
Kind of. The winner of CalSouth NatCup can go to FWR if they choose to, even if they are already qualified through National League. DD's team faced this situation two times. The first time they chose to skip FWR. Since league play was over, they had problems finding teams to play to help prepare for the National Championships. The second time, they chose to go to FWR in order to be better prepared for the National Championships. It worked.
 
Cal south sends 2 teams to FWR - CRL winner and NC winner (or runner up if CRL/NC winner is the same) unless the CRL winner isn’t technically called a cal south team but it shows up that way on scheduled once there
