A)Was it was pure luck that this was the case at our regionals:
I cant speak for all regionals but at the Colorado regional we have a little space in a corner ~10x20 ft

B)If not, why did FIRST decide to provide such limited practice space at each of the regionals?
I think its just how much space there is availible at the regional venue. I know at colorado the space is so tight that a left over corner is all that they can spare, space is in such demand the Asle size (normaly 10 ft) was dropped to 8ft so that teams could have 10x10 pits
