To date (2012 and 2013), this has never happened in MAR - all 11 winners (5 in 2012 and 6 in 2013) would have qualified for the Region Championship without the auto-bid.
2012 DCA Ranks: 2, 9, 22, 53, 55 (cutoff dropped to the 64th ranked team)
2013 DCA Ranks: 2, 6, 10, 23, 31, 38 (cutoff dropped to 65th ranked team)
