Don't just ask how likely it is. Provide some information about why you want to attend that particular regional, with details like travel time/distance restrictions and conflicts with other weeks' events. That'll give the regional planning committee some information to work with when prioritizing the waitlisted teams.

One trick you might use immediately is to look at how many teams attended last year and compare it to the number of teams currently registered. That can give you an indication of how many "reserved" slots the regional has.
