I think we would want to invite the top 32 ranked teams that competed at both Missouri Regionals.(We would also invite teams 16 and 525 if all 32 decline.) Registration would be for $200 if we would only run on the 10th then we would run the event just like Indiana except that we would have elimination alliances of 4 with alliance selection based off of Cowtown's and VRC's additions to the selection process.(i.e. 1-8 can't pick themselves, 1 picks first during the first two rounds of selection then 8 picks first in the final round, and all 4 teams have to play at least once during each elimination round). We would highly consider doing this if teams are on board for it.

Ran the numbers for Iowa and Illinois teams that played in KC or SL to combine with Jaxom's Kansas and Missouri Rankings.
Total is the sum of 2 events. Best is the highest of the 2 events. Average is the average of the two events. I ranked on average. Of course teams who only played one event will have all 3 numbers the same. Ranking based on this. The ranking system does not award points for Chairman's, Rookie All Star, or Engineering Inspiration.

(By the way 1625 and 2451 are Northern Illinois teams, much closer to Chicago and probably not a target for an expanded Missouri district. They are marked in blue. Teams in red did not play in a Missouri regional this year.)

There are 94 teams in this list. Green line represents the top 32. For an Indiana style championship the purple line represents the top 24. If I was running a district championship with to qualify for champs I would be tempted to invite 48 teams (orange line).
