Thoughts?

(This still doesn't cover CA or EI award winners, but the concept could be expanded to them as well.)
I like the idea of finalists having a shot at qualifying!
However, say: at a week 2 regional team A is captain of the #2 alliance and loses to teams B, C, and D in the finals. This is B, C and D's first regional and now they qualify for the Championship. In week 4, Team B wins another regional. Does the finalist from the week two regional or the week four regional qualify for Championships?

Every year, there are always a few great teams that don't qualify for the Championship, and its too bad. Maybe a ranking system of sorts to allow the top 10 ranked non-qualified teams to qualify would work.
