1. If a team has the money and student availability, they can participate in up to 6 regionals this year.

2. If they win a Championship qualification slot at any of their regionals, they may go to the Championships.

There is nothing fair or unfair about this. Teams work for sponsorships so they can get enough money to attend multiple events. Every team has that same opportunity to solicit additional sponsors. The fact that this may be easier for some teams than others is like anything else in life - nothing is guaranteed to be equal or easy.
