I think the reason behind this is that it would be quite easy to chose what regional to go to based upon what teams are going to be there. I mean who wouldn't want to go to 1114 and 2056 first regional where 2056 is submitting for CA, and 1114 has the CCA there is a good chance, that the two of them would claim 4 awards here, two winners, EI, and CA the two of them would only need 1 of these award spots. 2056, not having the automatic bid assuming this isn't counting the 2012 Einstein teams. This largely increases my chances of getting a spot at champs.
Bottom line I think they want to give out more spots for top competing teams but they don't want teams trying to beat the system to get spots to champs
