C'mon, we're smart people, surely we can solve this?
Simple: Your district's size relative to the entire FRC population in 2013 dictates the number of Championship slots available in 2014 (provided that awards that would qualify a team at a traditional regional will get you through to Championship all the same).

Now, when there are so many districts that 6*regions is greater than the reasonable capacity of Championship...we'll have to have a long look in the mirror.
