Last I heard, Michigan is going to be pretty tight this year when it comes to extra spots. This is supported by data. Last season 190 teams competed in Michigan, which left just 20 spots open for a team to attend a third district event. Since Michigan is not adding an 11th district at the moment, there could actually be scenarios where Michigan has a few districts overbooked. I would expect the lack of the possibility of a third event to push more teams out of state when looking for additional practice time. It wouldn't surprise me if this list grows quite a bit.

Also, I don't usually pay attention to out of state registration, but is this an abnormally small number of second regional slots open? It seems like many more teams would have interest (and financial capability) to compete in a second regional than slots available.
